Some students are assigned a 6-digit PIN number by the Registrar's Office. In AppalNet, this is called an ALT PIN. ALT stands for Alternate; PIN stands for Personal Identification Number. ALT PIN = PIN. Students who are assigned a PIN must enter their PIN number in AppalNet in order to access the registration system.
This PIN number is different from your 9-digit Banner ID.
How do you get your PIN?
Incoming Students: Pass the final quiz in the PREP course AND register for Orientation.
Continuing Students: IF you have required advising, meet with your assigned academic advisor (see Who is My Advisor?). If your major has Required Science Advising, you must ALSO meet with your academic department before you can receive your PIN number (see Required Science Advising). Once you have completed required advising, you can find your PIN number in the Notes section at the bottom of your DegreeWorks.
You can see if you have required advising by going to the Check Your Registration Status screen in AppalNet (Student tab>Registration link>Check Your Registration Status). This is your status for the whole semester (even if you have already completed your required advising) and only disappears after you enter your PIN in AppalNet. This is also where you can see if you have any registration holds that will prevent you from registering until you get them resolved (at which time they will disappear from this AppalNet page). Be sure to scroll down to see all the information on this page.
