All currently enrolled students may preregister using Elon OnTrack at a time (or later) established by the Registrar according to semester hours earned. Students are expected to meet with their academic advisor to understand how their course selections meet both personal goals and their program of study requirements. After this preregistration advising conference, the advisor grants students permission to preregister by selecting “advisor approval” in On Track. Students should not miss class to preregister. If access begins during class time, a student should preregister immediately following class.
Advisors are encouraged to double check their roster of advisees to be sure approval has been granted to deserving students. When advisors forget this step, students cannot register online at their appointed time and much angst and frustration follows. This is especially troublesome to students if a delay results in one or more of their classes closing while they are frantically trying to find their advisor to gain access. Students who have procrastinated and are unable to secure an advising appointment before their access time will also be frustrated—a natural consequence of poor planning.
The Academic Advising Center supports undecided students during preregistration. Students with declared majors, however, are expected to locate their assigned advisor for preregistration advice and clearance for online registration access.
