Because of the numbers of students all trying to register at 3:00 p.m. each registration day, we have heard several reports of web errors and system "time-outs," which have interrupted the registration process. So here are a few tips which may help make the process smoother:

1. Register for only one class at a time, if possible. Take the class that you most need to get and enter only that CRN into the add/drop screen, rather than entering 3 or more at a time. After you have that class confirmed, enter one or two more at a time until you finish. Registering for all five or six of your classes at once apparently increases the likelihood of an error message and decreases the likelihood you will get any of the classes you want. However, you must enter courses that are "linked" (such as labs and their parent courses) at the same time. 
2. Use a computer with a wired (rather than a wireless) port if you are on campus, if possible. A wireless connection is sharing resources with all other computers also using wireless; so, in theory, a wired connection should be less vulnerable to time-out errors.
3. Make sure you click on the 'Select Term' menu option and choose the Fall 2008 term before clicking on the 'Add/Drop Classes' menu option.
4. Make sure you are eligible for the classes for which you are trying to register. Certain classes have prerequisites or minimum test scores which you must have to enroll in the course. If you do not meet those minimums, it will dramatically slow down your registration process. The on-line ACU Catalog will have all of these prerequisites in the course descriptions section.
5. If you receive an error message (such as "your system has timed out" or "processing error"), the best course of action is to log out of myACU and restart the process. It is likely that some of the classes you entered were enrolled and restarting this process will allow you to see what is registered and continue with new registrations.
6. The Banner web portion of myACU is optimized for Internet Explorer. If you are experiencing difficulties, you should try using IE instead of other browsers, such as Firefox or Netscape.
