Graduate Registration Information

Summer 2018 Registration

Major restrictions will remain in place for Summer 2018 until noon on Monday, April 9.

Forms for various types of permits can be found here: http://www.cc.gatech.edu/academics/degree-programs/masters/forms

If you are a graduate student who wishes to take an undergraduate course, you should complete a request form and return it to the forms box in the advising waiting area of the College of Computing, first floor. The instructor of the course MUST approve. These permits will NOT be issued until the first week of Summer term.

For 1000/2000 level courses, complete this form: http://www.cc.gatech.edu/sites/default/files/images/graduate_student_request_to_take_a_1000-2000_undergraduate_course.pdf

For 3000/4000 level courses, complete this form: http://www.cc.gatech.edu/sites/default/files/images/graduate_student_request_to_take_a_3000-4000_undergraduate_course.pdf

All permit forms (except MSCS Project forms) should be submitted to the forms box in the advising waiting area of the College of Computing, first floor. MSCS Project forms should be submitted to an MSCS advisor.

Fall 2018 Phase I Registration

In order to prevent the course hoarding behavior that causes many students not to be able to get into classes during Phase I, and creates great stress for students with later time tickets, we will be using the following procedure for registration:

All CS/CSE graduate courses will be PERMIT RESTRICTED for the ENTIRETY of Phase I registration. 

We sent out a survey link where students can request permits.  This survey link will remain open until 9AM Thursday, March 29.  If you miss the survey deadline, you will not be able to register until Phase II.

PhD students can request up to TWO CS/CSE courses.

MS students can request up to FOUR CS/CSE courses.

The College staff will process the permit requests prior to the opening of the time tickets for graduate students.

The Permit Restrictions will NOT be removed during this phase of registration.

The Major Restrictions will NOT be removed during this phase of registration.

Phase I registration will end on May 18 at 4PM.

We know this is not ideal, but the hoarding behavior of some graduate students, and the unavoidable limitations of the registration system, make these measures necessary.

Students who miss the course survey submission deadline will have to wait until Phase II to register for courses.

Forms for various types of permits can be found here: http://www.cc.gatech.edu/academics/degree-programs/masters/forms

Frequently Asked Questions

Q:  What do I do if a Course is CLOSED?

A:  Once the registration cap has been reached for a course, the course is full. In order to request a seat in a closed course, you must follow the instructions below.  We DO NOT accept requests for overrides.

Q: Can a professor help me get into the course?

A:  Please DO NOT email a professor to seek permission to enroll in his/her course, as professors have no control over this.

Q: What does this error message mean?

A:  If you try to register for a course and receive an error message, please refer to the link:

http://www.registrar.gatech.edu/registration/error.php for an explanation of what the message means.

Q: What if the class and the waitlist are both full?

A:  The only thing you can do in this situation is wait until something opens up.

Q: I want to add myself to the waitlist, but I am seeing a Course Closed message.  What do I do?

A:  http://www.registrar.gatech.edu/registration/waitlisting.php

Q: I am not a CoC major, but I want permission to take a class.  How do I do that?

A:  See above for information about when major restrictions will be removed.

Q: I am a graduate student.  Can I take the undergraduate version of a course that is cross-listed with both undergrad and grad sections?

A:  If you are a grad student, you should take the grad section of a cross-listed course.

Q: When are waitlists removed from classes?

A:  Waitlists are usually removed from classes on the Thursday before Phase II registration ends.

Q. I understand that students appear on waitlists in the order that they attempt to register.  Is that initial order ever changed?
