Spring 2021 Advising going on now!

Advising Process

Step 1: Review your Degree Works record

Degree Works is an advising tool that monitors your progress toward degree completion. It will show you which requirements have been fulfilled, which are in progress, and which are still outstanding.

Step 2: Create a tentative schedule using the course search

The online course search lists all the classes being offered each semester. Use information on the course search to create a tentative schedule.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Changes have been made to the format of the course search. Courses that are offered in person but can also be taken remotely will have two distinct sections. Each section of the course will have a unique course reference number (CRN).

Step 3: Schedule your advising

New Transfer Students: If you have a declared major other than Homeland Security, you have been reassigned to a faculty advisor. To learn more about the advising process, please visit our Frequently Asked Questions page and scroll to the bottom.

Step 4: Be prepared for your virtual appointment and get your RAC

Appointment slots are limited and not attending your first appointment may result in delaying your rescheduled appointment significantly. Be sure to attend your virtual advising appointment and be prepared!

At your advising appointment be prepared to share the list of courses that you’re interested in taking. Your advisor will share your registration access code (RAC) with you at the end of your appointment.

Step 5: On your registration day and at your start time, register for your spring courses via WebCat

Each student’s RAC is associated with a specific start time on their designated registration start date. For example, your start time may be at 11:00am on your designated start day. Use this RAC chart to determine your unique start time once you have your registration access code.

Registration Errors & Solutions

If you receive an error message when you attempt to register for a course, it may be because the course section is full. Some courses only have one section that is entirely in-person or entirely online. Other courses may have two sections, one section for students who attend in-person and another separate section for students attending remotely. If your preferred course modality section is full, please email the Registration Office as they may be able to assist you in registering for your preferred section or offer other suggestions.

If you need assistance selecting alternative courses or changing your schedule, please email unhm.advising@unh.edu.

If you have questions concerning WebCat registration or error messages, please visit the Registration Office’s website or email unhm.registration@unh.edu.
