Register for Courses

All students use SalukiNet Self-Service to register for classes, preferably during the advance registration period prior to the beginning of the semester. Following are mechanisms that may influence your registration process:

Holds are a way of ensuring required conditions are met. Some holds prevent registration until the requirement is met. Active holds and the description are reflected in SalukiNet Self-Service.

Any questions you may have about a hold should be directed to the originating office.

Registration User Number (RUN) is a 6-digit number unique to the student and the semester that may be required to register for classes on SalukiNet. The purpose of the RUN system is to ensure that students meet with their academic advisor to plan their course schedule and stay on track for graduation. The following groups need a RUN to register for classes:

• Transfer Students
• Students Admitted with Conditions
• Students on Academic Notice or Warning
• Students not meeting Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP)

A select few graduate program, such as MEDPREP require a RUN.

Contact your department if you have questions about your program.

Restrictions are used to manage class registration such as major or field of study, late registration access, closed class, classification, or a time conflict. The course description will identify if there are restrictions associated with the class. The academic advisor will put in the override(s) needed to complete the registration.

Course Repeats are sometimes necessary to either meet degree requirements or to raise the grade. Undergraduate students repeating a class for a better grade will benefit from grade replacement—only the most recent grade counts. Both initial registration and the repeat must occur at SIU Carbondale.
