Prior to Registration
• Before beginning the registration process, make sure you have an Advising Release Code
from your academic advisor. You will not be able to complete your registration without this
code. If you do not have the code, please contact your advisor.
• Banner Web prefers Internet Explorer as its default browser. If you are trying to register
with another browser (such as Mozilla, Firefox, or Netscape), your experience and screen
presentation may be different than what is described below.
Logging In
• Log on to my.acu.edu.
• Locate the menu on the top left of the screen and click "Banner" (you will be automatically
logged into Banner Web), OR
• Go to the Depot tab from myACU and click "Register for Classes."
NOTE: During peak registration periods, an alternate registration path (which goes directly to Banner Web) will be available from the my.acu.edu page. If you choose this alternate path, you will need your Banner ID and PIN, which can be obtained from Team55 if you do not remember it. If you choose this alternate path, you will bypass logging into myACU. Once you are logged into Banner Web, you will begin at the "Getting Started" section below.
Getting Started
• Select "Student & Financial Aid" from the menu.
• Click on "Registration."
• Click on "Select Term" and select the term for which you want to register. Click on "Submit."
• Click on "Registration Status" to see if you are eligible to register, OR
• Click on "Add or Drop Classes" to go straight to registration, and skip down to the section
on this page entitled "Look Up and Register for Classes."
Registration Status
The information displayed on this page may affect your ability to register for classes. Review it carefully before proceeding.
• Holds – if you have holds, you may view them by clicking on "View Holds" at the bottom
of the screen.
• Academic Standing – if you are (or have been) on academic suspension, you may not be
able to register; this must say "permits registration" for you to be able to add/drop classes.
• Student Status – must also say "permits registration."
• Class – your classification (freshman, sophomore, etc.) is determined by your total earned
hours at of the end of previous term; see the Priority Registration Schedule in this
semster's Schedule Bulletin to determine when you may begin to register, based on your
classification.
• Degree and Major – if this information is incorrect, you need to fill out a Change of Program
form, which can be found on our Forms page. If you are trying to register for a major-
restricted class and your major code has not been changed, your advisor may have to
register you for that class.
If you are eligible to register for classes, scroll to the bottom of the screen and click on "Add or Drop Classes."
Look Up and Register for Classes

Release Code; click "Submit" (If you do not have an Advising Release Code, contact your
advisor).

You may also select additional search criteria such as Title, Day(s) and Times.

to your class schedule.
• If you want to add a class to your form without actually registering for the class, click on
"Add to Worksheet." This option only places the CRN (Course Reference Number) onto your
worksheet while you continue to search for other classes. You may click on "Submit" to
register for all classes saved to your worksheet, or you may click "Reset" to clear the CRN's
without registering.

Common Registration Errors
• Degree and/or Major Restrictions - Banner Web may tell you that a course is open only for
students of a specific major or program. If you receive this message, either choose another
class or contact your advisor.
• Prerequisite Restrictions - Banner Web may say that you lack the necessary prerequisites to
enroll in a particular course. You may either choose another class or see your advisor if you
believe you have received this message in error. Common prerequisite restrictions follow in
the list below:
• A specific course - the course in question requires another course to be taken first.
• A test score - the course in question requires an admissions test score or subscore
(such as ACT or SAT) of a certain level.
• Number of hours - the course in question requires that the student have a certain
number of earned hours before the course is taken.
• Co-requisite Restrictions - Banner Web may inform you that the course for which you are
trying to enroll must be taken at the same time as another course. You may either sign up
for the co-requisite course or drop the course with the co-requisite requirement. You must
sign up for both courses before clicking the "Submit" button.
