Registration Information for OCS Students

If you will not have access to a computer during your allotted time, please follow this link to access the Alternate Course Request Form. This should be emailed to Phaedra Fawcett at fawcettp@kenyon.edu by noon on the day preceding your first registration time. If you submit the alternate course request form and then proceed to web register, we will not attempt to enter your courses from your form and it will be shredded.

NOTE: Be sure that you use the test database to check for any errors in advance of submitting this form. We will enter your requests at the beginning of registration. (If there are classes you didn’t get, you can add them during the drop/add period during the first seven class days of the semester.)

REGISTRATION TIME PERIOD FOR Spring 2019

Juniors (Class of 2020): Thursday, November 15 from 11:15 am until Friday, November 15 at 4:30 pm

Web Registration Information and Instructions

BEFORE your registration time period opens, please go to the web registration test environment. See instructions for the registration test environment.

For the latest course information, see the Schedule of Courses.

Obtain your Alternate PIN:  You must contact your advisor to discuss your schedule. Once you have done so, your advisor will give you an alternate PIN to gain access to the registration page. Your advisor can refuse to give you the alternate PIN if you have not discussed your schedule prior to your registration period.

Logging In From Off Campus

You will need to go through remote.kenyon.edu. You will then be prompted to verify with Dou so you can register through Personal Access Pages.

It is imperative that you attempt to log in to your personal access pages before the registration period begins to be sure that you are able to access them from abroad. You should get the error that "you are not permitted to register at this time" when you test your log in. If you are experiencing difficulty logging in or have forgotten your password, contact Helpline at helpline@kenyon.edu or 740-427-5700.

ENROLLMENT PROCEDURES 

Students can only enroll in 2.25 units (four 0.50 unit courses plus 0.25 units) of credit during web registration. Any additional labs, music lessons/ensembles, PHSD, dance classes, fifth 0.50 unit classes can be added during the drop/add period, during the first 7 class days.

*As a courtesy, please don't fill your schedule with courses just to have a full schedule. It is fine to not have a full schedule at this point.

TIPS FOR REGISTRATION 

Registration consists of entering CRN's into boxes and then attempting to register for those courses. Use the searchable schedule to bookmark your courses. Have your course list available so that you have the choices handy. You will need to enter the CRN for each course to register.

• Reserved Seats
  In an effort to keep a particular balance of students in a class, some faculty choose to reserve seats by class. These courses should be considered a priority when registering.
• Permission of Instructor (PI)
  Courses that indicate PI (permission of instructor) cannot be added during web registration without an override. You will need to contact the instructor of the course and have them enter an online override before your scheduled start time.
• Prerequisites
  Read the course descriptions for prerequisites and corequisites. Courses with prerequisites listed in the course description will be checked by the system.
  
  If your record does not list the AP score or the Kenyon class listed, you will be unable to enroll in the course via the web unless you ask the instructor to enter with an override online.
  
  Transfer credit does not get checked in this process unless we have equated a transfer course to a Kenyon course on your transcript.
  
  When you receive an override from the instructor, this does not register you for the course, you MUST add the course during registration.
• Corequisites
  When entering CRN's for any labs with lectures listed as the corequisite, you must enter them at the same time in web registration or the system will not register you for the lab.
• Wait-listing Courses
  • You CAN wait list for a course that has a time conflict with a course you are already registered in.
  • You CAN wait list in courses that take you over the 2.25 credit max. Waitlisted courses show as 0.00 credit until they are added to your schedule.
  • You CANNOT wait list in a duplicate course. Ex: If you are registered in ENGL 104.01, you CANNOT wait list for another section of ENGL 104. This includes special topics.
  • When a wait list enabled course reaches the enrollment limit, the next student who attempts to add the course will be informed that the course enrollment is filled and will be asked whether they would like to wait list. Saying yes will add your name to the list.
• Audit-Individual Study-Senior Honors 
  You cannot sign up for these during web registration. Audits can be done on an enrollment change request form during the first seven class days of each semester. Forms for senior honors can be found in the Registrar's office or the Registrar's web page. Individual studies can only be found online and turned in during the first seven class days. The form must be fully completed and have all required signatures.

IMPORTANT NOTES:

You should try the test environment to look for any errors.

• DO NOT USE THE BACK BUTTON ON YOUR BROWSER. You should use "Return to Menu" or "Site Map" to navigate through the pages. If you use your back button during registration it will cause an error message to appear ("Your changes have already been submitted"). If this occurs, click ok and then click on site map located at the top right of the page. Under student, click - registration and begin again.
  • Log onto your Personal Access Pages. You should do this before your schedule start time

  • Confirm your identity using Duo

  • On your Personal Access Pages homepage, click Student > Registration > Select Upcoming Term > Submit 

    DO NOT CLICK ON "ADD OR DROP" UNTIL AFTER SCHEDULED START TIME
  • Choose Add or Drop Classes; this is where you will need to enter your alternate PIN that you received from your advisor on the colored card.
  • Enter CRN's into the boxes at the bottom of the page and then click Submit Changes.
  • Assuming there were no errors, this registers you for the courses you entered. If there are any errors you will see them listed below your schedule with a red exclamation point. THESE COURSES HAVE NOT BEEN ADDED TO YOUR SCHEDULE. You may have to obtain signatures and add them during drop/add period.

To view your completed schedule:
Log on to Personal Access Pages: Menu > Student Services > Registration. Select the correct term, then Detailed Student Schedule.

Notice of Individual Student Responsibility
While faculty and staff stand ready to encourage and advise, the final responsibility for complying with College polices and procedures as well as for meeting degree requirements rests with the individual student. Students have access to all of the College policies in the Course Catalog and various enrollment instructions and are held accountable for their content.
