Students should register as soon as the registration period opens to avoid delays or scheduling conflicts.

Steps to Register:

Step 1

Consult Your Advisor or Dissertation Chair

Before registering, meet with your faculty advisor or dissertation chair to review your degree plan and determine the appropriate courses for the upcoming semester.

Step 2

Requesting Enrollment Approvals

For any courses that require instructor or departmental approval (e.g., Directed Research, Independent Study, Practicum), email the program administrator and CC your advisor or chair. Be sure to include:

  • Your name and student ID
  • Course number and title
  • Semester of enrollment
  • Supervising faculty (if applicable)

Step 3

Complete Registration

Once the necessary permissions are granted, register for your approved courses through the Texas State registration system (Self-Service Banner).

Prompt and coordinated communication with your advisor and the program office will help ensure a smooth registration process each term.
