Detailed Registration Instructions

Step 1: Log into Banner Web & Degree Works

• To get started, log in to Banner Web and Degree Works using your T-Wolves username and password. For assistance with your T-Wolves username and password, contact 716-210-2505 or TWolvesAssistance@niagaracc.suny.edu. It is helpful to have Degree Works and Banner Web open in two separate browser tabs that will allow you to go back and forth between your plan and scheduler as needed.
• Click on “Plans” located at the top of your Degree Works worksheet to view your plan.  If your Academic Advisor has created a plan for you, it will appear here.
• Find your Registration Alternate PIN or RAP # noted in your Plan by clicking on the Notes icon next to the term you are registering for. We recommend writing your RAP# down or keeping your plan open in a separate tab as you will need this number later in the scheduling process.

Step 2: Schedule Classes using Banner Registration

You will access Registration within Banner Web.

• Under the Registration card, select “Register for Classes (Add/Drop Class on your Schedule)”.
  
• If this is your first time registering for the term, follow the four bulleted steps below. If you have already registered for classes and are modifying your schedule, Action Item Processing should NOT appear and you can skip to “Register for Classes” below.
• Click on “Register for Classes” to start building your schedule.
  
• In Banner Web, select the term you are registering for from the drop-down, enter your RAP# (listed on your SEP Plan in Degree Works), then click “Continue”.
  • TIP: 24 hours after you have registered for classes for a term, you will not need to enter your RAP# again to make changes to your schedule or to print your schedule.  Simply choose the term and then click “Continue” to proceed.

• When all courses have been added (or selected), the courses should have a pending status in the Summary section of the page.  Click on “Submit” in the bottom right-hand corner to complete registration for the courses.  You should see a green “Registered” status when you are officially registered in the course.

• View or print your schedule by clicking on the “View/Print Class Schedule” tab.

Registration Module Tabs

On the “Register for Classes/View & Print Schedule” page, you will see different tabs at the top that provide different options for choosing and scheduling your courses.

• Enter CRN’s Tab – If you already have your CRN’s, click on this tab to enter and register for those courses.

Error Messages

If at any time you receive an error message when registering for a course, you should consult with your Academic Advisor.  Your Advisor may need to submit additional paperwork on your behalf to resolve the error. 

Holds

If you have a hold on your account, you will receive a red message in the upper right-hand corner of the page that state “You have holds that prevent registration”.  Read the message to determine who to contact in order to resolve your hold.  The most common holds are “Immunization Hold” or “Health Clinic Hold”.  If you have one or both of these holds, you should contact the Wellness Center (Room C-122) at 716-614-6275 or email at wellnesscenter@niagaracc.suny.edu.

More information can be found on the Health & Wellness Center webpage.  You cannot register for classes until all holds are removed.

Follow the steps outlined below to access your plan in Degree Works:

Step 1: Log into Degree Works using your T-Wolves username and password.

You may find it helpful to have your degree evaluation open in one browser window and Banner Web open in another, so you can reference your plan while scheduling your classes.

We also suggest using the following browsers: Mozilla Firefox or Google Chrome.

Step 2: Locate your plan.

Click on “Plans” located at the top of the Degree Works worksheet to view your plan. Your approved plan will appear.  This will include classes your advisor has recommended and any other important information for your upcoming semester.

Step 3: Find your Registration Alternate PIN (RAP #) noted in your plan.

The advisor will note your RAP# at the top of your plan in Degree Works (see example below).  Students can view the RAP# by clicking the notes icon next to the term they are registering for.  A pop-up box will appear with a note from your Advisor that should list the RAP#.

We recommend writing your RAP# down or keeping your plan open in a separate tab as you will need this number later in the scheduling process.

Understanding “@” Elective Courses on your SEP (if applicable).

Your advisor may recommend elective course options on your plan. The symbol “@” takes the place of either the course code and/or number to represent choice. Refer to your Degree Works worksheet tab for elective options or note attached to the course in your plan.

Examples:
“LIT @” = Take any LIT (Literature) elective course
“@ @” = Free Elective (take anything)
“@ @” with MATH = Take any course with Gen Ed Mathematics Attribute
General Elective Course Information

When searching for classes, if a class is full and has a waitlist, students will see a message as shown below.

Add yourself to a waitlist by clicking on the “ADD” button on the right-hand side of the course listing.  The course will have a “Pending” status in the Summary section.

Choose “Waitlisted” from the Action drop-down and then click the “Submit” button.

You are officially waitlisted for the course when you see the status of “Waitlisted”.

If a seat in the course opens, students will be notified through their T-Wolves Email that they have 24 hours to register for the course in Banner Web.

To register for the course:

• Log into Banner Registration and choose “Web Registered” from the Action drop-down menu under Summary.
• Click “Submit” to officially register for the course.

If you do not register for the course within the 24-hour time frame, the seat will be offered to the next student on the waitlist or open to the general public if there are no other students on the waitlist.

If a seat does not open in the course by the last business day before the class begins, you will be dropped from the waitlist and notified via email that a seat did not become available in the course.
