Course Registration Information
Permits/Override Requests
Most of the Zimmerman School’s senior-level courses are restricted to students within our department, and some may require permits. Please e-mail MassComAdvise@usf.edu if you are attempting to enroll in a course and receive an error.
How to Register for Courses
Visit the CAS Advising website for updated information regarding course registration.
Reminders and Helpful Tips
Registration times are assigned based on the number of earned credits and GPA; log
into Student Self-Service, and from the ‘Registration’ menu, select ‘Registration
status’.
Students are responsible for their own registration; plan to register within a few
hours of your registration time.
Look at the details and notes for each course; you will see some are restricted to
certain students or require permission, etc.
Register for what you think you need/what was discussed at your most recent advising
appointment; do not wait to register until after meeting with an advisor otherwise
courses that you need may fill.
Your major is sequential, so there is an order to the major coursework. Information
on course sequences can be found in the Zimmerman School’s Canvas page.
Email MassComAdvise@usf.edu if you have any questions about registration errors you receive.
Permits for world language courses at the Tampa campus can be requested.
Holds
Students are responsible for ensuring that their holds are cleared prior to registering;
while some holds can be cleared within 24 hours, others may take a week or longer
to clear. Because of this, students should review their Academic Holds in early October.
These holds should be visible in your Registration Status page on Student Self-Service.
AA Hold: Students in their first two semesters (Fall and Spring) are required to meet
with their advisor; either make an appointment through Archivum, or email MassComAdvise@usf.edu
AR Hold: USF is missing an academic record, typically a final transcript, from a previous
institution. You can confirm what is missing in your Admissions portal, or email admissions@usf.edu
(freshman students), transfer@usf.edu (transfer students) or international@usf.edu
(International freshman students).
CC Hold: You have an outstanding balance; review your account summary in Student Self-Service
and settle any outstanding debts. Questions? Email or call 813.974.6056.
