Registration for Winter & Spring 2026 begins October 20, 2025!

What is Current Student Registration

Students who are currently registered for classes in the Fall 2025 semester AND are in a degree or certificate program can register for classes before new students. Registering for classes during your eligibility week increases your chances of getting the schedule you want.

Registration Instructions

When can I register?

Current SUNY Niagara students can find their Eligibility for Registration dates in the top portion of their degree evaluation in Degree Works.

You will find two dates listed on your degree evaluation as shown in the picture below.

• Eligibility for Winter Reg will be the date you are eligible to register for Winter 2026 classes (highlighted in green in picture below).
• Eligibility for Spring Reg will be the date you are eligible to register for Spring 2026 classes (highlighted in yellow in picture below).

Note: Some students will have the same registration eligibility date for Winter and Spring 2026 and some students will have different dates.

Who is my Advisor?

You can find your advisor’s name and contact information listed at the top of your Degree Works evaluation (see example below).

Online Registration Access Dates & Times

Your online registration access date is calculated based on the number of earned credit hours + number of credits currently registered for in this semester.

Please note: The breakdown for # of Earned Credit Hours shown in the chart below are applicable for the Winter & Spring 2026 terms only.

What should I do next?

• Plan Ahead!  Course offerings will be available to view in Banner Web on October 6, 2025. Take a look at course offerings before you meet with your advisor to get an idea of what courses you’d like to take.
• Run a Degree Evaluation!  You should run a degree evaluation BEFORE you meet with your advisor. This will help you understand which course requirements are still needed for your chosen degree/certificate.  Click here to access Degree Works.
• Meet with your Advisor!  Before you can schedule your classes online in Banner Web, you must meet with your advisor to obtain your Registration Alternate PIN (RAP) number. You can find this on your Plan in Degree Works once you meet with your Advisor.  Keep in mind that the earlier you meet with your advisor and schedule your classes, the greater flexibility you will have during course selection.
• Schedule your Classes! Once you have been advised, you may schedule your classes online in Banner Web when your Online Registration Access opens and anytime thereafter. Use the instructions under Helpful Links to help you make your schedule.
