- The class I want to register for is full through WebReg. Can I still be registered in that class?
If the class you are wanting to register for is full through WebReg, there are some steps you can attempt:
- contact the offering department or faculty member to determine if there is a wait-list, or
- monitor the Schedule of Classes frequently for a seat to become available, or
- Attend class the first day with a Change of Schedule form to see if you are able to add the course at that time or to receive further information on the possibility of adding the course in the near future.

- I want to return to the UA after a one-semester absence. How do I do that?
Providing you left the institution in good standing and did not file for a Leave of Absence, you need to re-apply to the UA.

- I want to return to the UA after an extended absence. How do I do that?
All students wishing to re-enroll at the UA must file an Undergraduate Readmission Application with the Office of Admissions. Note, if you left the UA with below a 2.0 cumulative GPA the readmission decision is made by the college to which you are applying.
If you are planning to resume completing a degree previously started, please contact an academic advisor in the college and/or major to which you are applying once the readmission process is complete.

- Do I have an academic advisor? Do I have just one UA academic advisor?
All undergraduate students have at least one academic advisor. That person could be a professional (full-time) advisor or a faculty advisor, or a partnership between the two. It all depends how advising services are organized within your college. Students pursuing more than one major or degree program, or who are completing a minor, have an academic advisor in each program of study. Advising contact information is organized by college or by major.

- When do I register for classes?
Continuing UA students register online through their Student Link account via WebReg. Priority registration is organized by class rank and then by SID.
All new students must meet with an academic advisor prior to registering for the first semester. For freshmen, this meeting occurs during the New Student Orientation Program. Transfer students must arrange for an individual appointment with their academic advisor at which time all transfer course work will be evaluated and remaining program requirements reviewed.

- I want to make sure classes I take at an Arizona community college are equivalent to UA classes. How can I do that?
The Arizona Course Applicability System (AzCAS) is a valuable online tool containing information on transfer equivalencies between the Arizona community colleges and four year institutions. The Course Equivalency Guide gives specific information on community college course work and how courses apply to the UA. It is a good idea to discuss your plans for completing course work elsewhere with your academic advisor.

- I want to take classes at a university, college, or community college outside of Arizona. How do I make sure these classes will transfer back to the UA?
You should complete a transfer credit pre-approval form and then meet with your academic advisor.

- I recently found out that I have been academically disqualified. Can I get an appointment with an advisor in the Advising Resource Center to find out more about my status and options?
The Advising Resource Center is a referral center and does not provide academic advising services for students. You need to contact your academic advisor or your college advising office staff to learn about your status and options. You should have received a letter outlining the steps needed to be re-admitted to the UA.

- What kind of computer do I need to bring to campus? Is an Apple ok?
The UA Office of Student Computing Resources (OSCR) has compiled a Computer Recommendations guide for students. If, after viewing this guide, you have unanswered questions, contact a staff member at OSCR.

- How do I make an appointment with my academic advisor?
It is difficult to answer this question because each advising office handles appointment scheduling in a variety of ways including telephoning the office and speaking with an assistant, online appointment scheduling, stop by the office for quick advising hours, e-mail, etc. Start by contacting the advisor with whom you wish to meet, and they will let you know the way(s) to schedule an individual appointment.

- How do I make certain that I will graduate in Spring (or Fall or Summer)?
The only person who can answer that question with certainty, and more importantly, has the authority to approve your degree program requirements are complete is your academic advisor. It is advisable to schedule an appointment with your academic advisor for a degree check (aka the application for degree candidacy) the penultimate semester.

- Before I apply to the University of Arizona I want to figure out how much of my previous college coursework will transfer to the UA. How do I do that?
An official audit of your previous college coursework is completed after a complete UA application is submitted. Unfortunately, the University of Arizona cannot complete this official audit until you have submitted your undergraduate application.
There are policies that address Acceptability of Transfer Credit.

- Does the UA offer online degree programs?

- I want to leave the UA but come back in one or two semesters. How do I do that?
The undergraduate student Leave of Absence is available for students in good standing to leave and return to the UA after a one, or two, semester absence. Students with this status need not apply for or pay readmission fees, maintain the original catalog, and may register for classes during their priority registration period.
