• “registration has been cancelled”  please disable the pop-up blocker in
your browser. (usually top right corner of your Internet browser. We
recommend the use of Explorer and Mozilla )
• “advisor block”  please make sure that your academic advisor has
unblocked you for the semester that you want to register for.
• FacAppReq  classes require an application of some kind. You must
complete the relevant application/paperwork and submit it to the
registrar’s office before you can register for the class.
• PreReq  you are missing a pre-requisite to register into this class. Only
your advisor can recommend you receive “permission to enroll” by
submitting the completed request form to the registrar’s office.
Troubleshooting
If you are trying to register and are unable to, please make
sure that:
• you are logged into the correct semester
(Current Semester: the one you want to register for)
• the registration window that corresponds to your college
level (freshmen, sophomore, etc) is open
• you are not blocked from registration (outstanding debt,
multimedia equipment not returned)
Be aware:
Modifying your course selection on the AUP4ME phone
application or AUP Blackboard does NOT affect your official
course registration. Only your Student Portal reflects your
academic records, including course registration.
