HOW TO WEB REGISTER

1. From the Internet type in Web address:        www.alfredstate.edu

2. Click on the link for Banner Web, click Continue, then click on: Enter Secure Area

3. Login: Enter either your user ID number or Social Security Number (i.e. 999999999) and your login PIN.

FIRST TIME USERS:  The first time you login to Banner Web, your login PIN is a random set of six characters and numbers that you received in a paper letter or an email message to your Alfred State Account.  After you enter your user ID and PIN, you will be asked to create a new login PIN (six numeric digits.)  This screen will ask you to re-enter your initial PIN and then enter your new six-digit PIN and to verify your new PIN.  Click on Login.

RETURNING USERS:  Use the login PIN number you created the first time you used the system. For verification you will be asked for this PIN a second time.

NOTE: When creating your new login PIN NUMBER be sure to make it: 1) easy to remember, and 2) a six-digit numeric PIN. There is a feature requiring you to submit a question and answer which will assist you if you forget your PIN number.

this PIN number may be used in the future for many other purposes other than registration.

4. Click on: Student Services & Financial Aid Menu then Registration Menu. Click on Add/Drop Classes, select term and submit.  If you are a continuing student, before proceeding, you must have your Registration Authorization Code which you can obtain from your academic adviser.

5. If you are a new student, click on: Freshman Math and English Recommendation, Select Term, and click on Submit Term and write down the courses that you have been recommended for. If you have transfer or AP credit and we have received the official transcripts they will be noted. Then scroll down and click on Add/Drop Classes.

6. You can either enter the CRN (course registration number) by entering the number in the box and clicking on: Submit Changes or find CRN by using the "Class Search" feature. Scroll down and click on Class Search, select the Subject you are registering for (i.e. NURS-Nursing, CIAT-Computer Imaging and Architectural Technology.) Enter Course Number and click on Class Search. Select the section you wish to register for by clicking in the box on the left of your screen and click Register at the bottom of the page. Remember some courses consist of a lecture and lab, which are linked (A1, A2.) You have to select both lecture and lab at the same time or you will receive a link error. Nursing has 5 links. Your courses and any errors that prevented registration will be displayed. Scroll down the screen to check your registration. Correct your registration errors. (See below for details on most common errors.) If you are an Applied Technology (Wellsville) student and are having problems, please contact Mary Fagan at the Dean office at (607) 587-3101.

8. Parts-of-Term classes are classes that do not meet for the full 15-week semester.  If you have registered for a class with a Part-of-Term other than “1,” you must print more than one copy of your schedule to get all of the needed information.
   On the bottom of the screen showing your class schedule (Student Schedule by Day and Time), there will be a place to click on the class with an alternate Part-of-Term.  Click on this and a new schedule will appear with this course included and the appropriate dates.

9. Carefully check your registration!  You are responsible for the accuracy of your registration.

COMMON ERROR MESSAGES

TIME CONFLICT – course times overlap.  Register for the course you prefer.  See the instructor for permission to register for the course that conflicts – then go to the Enrollment Services Office to process the permission.  (Note: this error message might print on the bottom portion of your schedule even though there is no apparent time conflict – if this is the case the message usually means that the course has more than one classroom listed and is really not an error – you may double-check this at the Enrollment Services Office or with the class instructor to verify.)

CLOSED COURSE – this section is full.  Register for another section or course.

LINK ERROR – you have registered for a lab or lecture section without the corresponding lecture or lab.  Use the Add Class area to add BOTH the lecture and lab sections.

PREREQUISITE ERROR – the system says you have not taken (or are not currently registered for) the required prerequisite for this course.  Contact your academic adviser for further direction.
