Priority Registration
Priority Registration has long been one of the unique benefits granted to Honors students. The UNM Registrars' Office determines the dates when all students attending the university can sign up for classes. Generally, transfer students register first, followed by graduate students, then seniors, juniors, sophomores and finally freshmen. The grade levels are determined by accumulated credit hours at the University. With Priority Registration, Honors students can register on the same day as graduate students. Essentially, Honors students can get a "first-pick" of courses and thereby coordinate their busy school, work, and family schedules. Fall 2012 Priority Registration starts on Monday, April 23rd, 2012 at 12:01 a.m.
How It Works
The new Banner system integrated at UNM has changed the way students register for Honors classes. Course numbers now appear on LoboWeb; however, all Honors students must obtain "departmental permission" to add an Honors seminar to their schedule. The Honors office can grant permission to students who have filled out an Override Card, are in good standing with the Honors Program, and have seen an Honors Peer Advisor early in the current semester. (Seniors currently working on a Senior Option or who will complete the Senior Colloquium/Service Learning component in the coming semester do not need to see a Peer Advisor in order to obtain an Override Card.) Override cards will be available on-line and in the UHP main office on Monday, March 26th, 2012 and must be submitted by Friday, April 13th, 2012.
