Registration for incoming students for Spring 2025 will begin on December 2nd, 2024.
Why do we ask incoming students to register for classes before meeting with an advisor?
- So you can start building your schedule right away, giving you immediate access to open classes
- To have you practice these skills - you'll register for classes on your own every semester
- To make your advising meeting more productive and allow more time for questions
Get Started
1. Review how to register for classes.
Review and bookmark this Student Self-Service Guide with Screenshots and Brief Videos which explains how add, drop, and waitlist classes in AppalNet. Pay close attention to these sections:
- Prepare for Registration: Search for Classes
- Register for Classes: ALL sections
- Complete Other Course Actions: Drop a Class, Waitlist a Course, and View Course Notes
2. Use your resources.
Open these resources on your computer:
- DegreeWorks - see which classes you still need to take (and if you have any transfer courses or credit, how that is counting)
- Registration Worksheets - if you have fewer than 20 hours of transfer credit
- Course Prefixes & Subject Descriptions - to help you search for and find classes
- Courses Search - to look up course descriptions and prerequisites
- Program of Study and Four Year Guide for your intended major. Find your Program of Study first, then look for the FYG icon in the top right corner.
- Math Guide - to determine which math class you need to take for your intended major.

You can adjust your schedule ("add and drop classes") until the end of the drop/add period. You can find this deadline on the App State academic calendar. Make sure you're looking at the correct term!
General Education
Use this 2024-2025 Gen Ed Checksheet and this Gen Ed Requirements section of the Bulletin. Boone campus students can use this color-coded checksheet to see which Gen Ed classes have open seats.
First Year Seminar (UCO 1200) and First Year Writing (RC 1000) are first YEAR courses, not first SEMESTER courses. It's fine to take one or both in your second semester.
Hickory and App State Online Students
Navigate to Browse Classes in AppalNet Self-Service. After selecting the correct term, select "Hickory" or "Online" in the Campus field
Hickory and App State Online students can take Main Campus (MC) online classes if the class is not restricted to Main Campus students only.
Test Scores & Transcripts
Did you take dual enrollment courses in high school? AP or IB classes? Have you taken college courses elsewhere? Remember to Submit test scores and transcripts.
Undecided about your major?
Add some open Gen Ed classes or introductory classes in subjects you're interested in. Then talk with your advisor about majors you're considering.
