Register for Classes

Meet with your advisor to review your audit, confirm your degree plans and get course recommendations for next semester.

First-year students usually meet with a professional academic advisor, while upperclassmen will be assigned a faculty advisor. When you meet with your advisor, they will usually give you a list of classes you need for your major, and a list of Miami Plan requirements you still need to meet. After your advising appointment, you will research and choose the times/days/modalities for the classes you need, and you will search for Miami Plan courses and electives on your own. If you have questions about this process, contact our Regional Advising office for an appointment.

To find the advisor you should schedule with: 

1. Confirm your faculty advisor (see instructions to the left)

2. Make an advising appointment

3. Prepare for your remote advising appointment if applicable

Run and review your degree audit before meeting with your advisor: 

1. Log into myMiami and access BannerWeb

2. Run your degree audit report by following instructions under Student Records for Degree Audit

Your Time Ticket is a window of registration time in which you are able to add courses to your schedule. Time Tickets are designated by completed hours; juniors and seniors have earlier Time Tickets than sophomores or freshmen. Your Priority Time Ticket is a period of time in which only students of a certain year are able to add classes. Open Registration is the period after all Priority Time Tickets have opened and closed. If you don't register in your Priority Time Ticket, you will need to wait until Open Registration and may find fewer available seats in classes. If you do a partial Change of Campus/Permission to Register, you will likely have a different Oxford Time Ticket from your Regional Time Ticket.

To find your Time Ticket, follow these instructions: 

1. Log in to myMiami and access BannerWeb

2. Click Student Services & Financial Aid

3. Click Registration (Banner Self-Service)

4. Click Prepare for Registration and then select the desired term. You will see your student status, your academic status, any holds, and your Time Ticket information

If you note any holds, contact the One Stop for information on how to clear them.

It is important that you build a schedule and identify the exact classes you intend to register for before your Time Ticket opens. Particularly in Oxford, you want to know the Course Registration Number (CRN) of the exact sections of classes you want to take.  Use the Course List to look up sections of courses recommended by your advisor, and build a list of the CRNs of classes you want to register for before your Time Ticket opens. 

You likely have classes recommended for your major, minor, or Thematic Sequence that you will search for by Subject. Search for these classes first, because there may only be one or two sections offered. After you've picked out specific classes (and recorded the CRNs), you might complete your schedule with Miami Plan Foundation courses or electives; use the Attribute designation to search for all classes that meet a certain Miami Plan requirement.  Note that the Miami Plan in catalog years prior to 2023 uses FD to identify courses for each Foundation.  For Miami Plan requirements in catalog years after Fall 2023, use the Miami Plan designation PA for Perspective Areas. If you have questions about your catalog year and which Miami Plan you should use, please contact Regional Academic Advising. 

Once you have identified the CRNs for the sections of classes recommended by your advisor to complete your degree and Miami Plan requirements, you will register for those courses when your  Time Ticket opens.
