Register for Classes

Students are required to complete academic advising with their assigned academic advisor prior to registration each semester.

Undergraduate students on the Angola campus may register with their advisor or online through MyPortal with advisor clearance.

Not sure who your assigned academic advisor is?

Log into the MyPortal, click on Student, then Registration and Advising, and view advising details under Academic Information.

 If your degree information listed is not correct, please let your advisor know.

Once you have met with your academic advisor, there are two options for registering for classes.

Your advisor may choose to register the courses for you, or your advisor may grant you clearance to register yourself on MyPortal.

Please use the instructions below for self-registration.

• Log on to MyPortal.
• Click on the “Student” tab.
• Click on the “Registration and Advising” link on the left side of the screen.
• Click on the “Register Online” link on the left side of the screen.
• Select the correct semester you are registering for in the drop-down box. Example: Spring 2023-2024.
• We suggest you search by division (undergraduate) and department. Use the drop-down box to select the appropriate course department such as “Accounting” or “English.” Then click "Search."
• Once you have found a course in which you want to enroll, select the ‘add’ check box to the left of the course, and click the “Add Courses” button at the bottom left of the screen.
• To continue selecting courses in the same semester, repeat the selection process and click "Search".
• If you need to drop a course you’ve selected, you may do so at the My Schedule (Registered) portion of the screen. Click the check box under the Drop column next to the course you wish to drop. Then click “Drop Selected Courses”.
• Once you have selected all your classes and verify your course selection, log out of MyPortal.

A hold is preventing you from registering. Please contact the appropriate office listed with the hold.

The “Add Courses” button does not show. A message will appear below the semester drop-down box, either your advisor did not grant you online registration clearance OR your registration period has not opened yet. Check the registration day and time (current class year based on credits already earned, not including the current semester).

A course is full. Add yourself to the wait list, if you are registering during Early Registration. Wait lists let Department Chairs know the need for a course. Wait lists are not used after Early Registration (first 2 weeks of registration). Department Chairs do reserve the right to make changes to courses, including but not limited to, rosters, instructors, day and time, and cancellations. Please check your schedule in MyPortal for changes.

A time conflict is preventing you from registering online for a class. Register for the rest of your courses. Forward email approvals from your advisor and the Department Chair who is offering the course with the time conflict. Send the email approvals to registrar@trine.edu . 

A missing prerequisite is preventing you from registering online for a class. Register for the rest of your courses. Verify the course and missing prerequisite with your advisor, as you may need to register for a different course. Forward email approvals to registrar@trine.edu from your advisor and the Department Cahir who is offering the course with the missing prerequisite.

Undergraduate students are not able to register online for more than 18 credit hours. Register for the rest of your courses. Forward an overload approval email to registrar@trine.edu from your Department Chair, the Business Office, and Financial Aid.  If you are interested in registering for 21-22 credit hours, your academic dean must also provide email approval.

Any issues that prevent you from registering for your courses online please stop by the Registrar’s Office in Forman Hall.

It is very important for students' success that course prerequisites and corequisites are met.

Prerequisites and corequisites will be checked during online registration.

Online registration will not allow students to register with missing prerequisites or corequisites.

If you are missing a course prerequisite or corequisite, prior to registering for the course you must obtain email permission from the chair of the department offering the course.

Forward that email permission to the Registrar's Office (registrar@trine.edu) for the course for which you are receiving special permission.

Prerequisite and corequisite information is available in the 'Course Description' section of the online catalog.

Time conflicts between courses will be checked during online registration.

Online registration will not allow students to register for the course with schedule conflicts.

If you are missing a course prerequisite or corequisite, prior to registering for the course you must obtain email permission from the chair of the department offering the course.
