Veteran Student - Priority Registration

Priority Registration was designed to offer the eligible student-veteran the opportunity to register for their program's curriculum prior to the general population. Student veterans can register on the first day of registration for each Fall and Spring semester of any academic school year, during their matriculation. This standing applies to student veterans of ANY classification, at the undergraduate and graduate level, who hold veteran or military status in our student information system.

Student veterans will be able to register for classes and have first-choice selections for all courses offered, to ensure that they stay on track and graduate on time.

Student veterans eligible for the Priority Registration Grouping accommodation must be identified on the student veterans database managed by the Veterans Engagement Services team in the Office of the Registrar.

Priority Registration standing does not carry over from semester to semester so it's imperative that all student veterans on campus report to the Veterans Engagement Services area each semester that you are enrolled. All military-affiliated students MUST complete the Military Funding Request Form each term they are matriculating so that they can be coded for Priority status. This is not an automatic process.

Priority Registration standing does not eliminate any student from following the protocol of the University or their academic school/college, specifically, those academic schools that participate in the PIN program. Student veterans deemed eligible for Priority Registration MUST still report to their academic advisors for schedule assistance and PIN access before registering or being considered for priority registration status.
