Course Registration
Beginning Monday, November 11th, matriculated students at the School of Nursing can register for Spring 2025 classes. Specific time varies by program.
Please note: UR Student registration link is for matriculated students enrolled in a degree program only. You are expected to register for the courses on your degree plan. Any deviation from that plan must be approved by your advisor and recorded on the degree plan in your file. Non-matriculated students DO NOT register through UR Student. See: Non-Matriculated Course Registration.
How to Register for Courses
Please read through the steps outlined below to register for courses. To access the UR Student portal, you will need your URMC Active Directory and be enrolled in Duo, the University's two-factor authentication program.
1. Complete Onboarding
Each semester prior to registration, you will be directed to follow and complete a set of required actions, known as “Onboarding” in UR Student. Onboarding is important, as you will need to complete all required actions before registration opens. Required onboarding activities can be found in your Inbox in the UR Student system and may include:
- confirming contact information
- signing forms
- reviewing academic information
2. Complete Compliance Requirements
Before registration, continuing/returning students should upload proof of annual flu vaccination and required annual health updates to the UHSConnect portal (RN to BS students should send to SONCompliance@urmc.rochester.edu). If required for the program, you must also maintain the required AHA BLS CPR certification. Questions about compliance can be directed to SONCompliance@urmc.rochester.edu.
3. Review Approved Degree Plan
Review your approved degree plan so that you know which course sections to register for. If you do not have a degree plan by the time registration opens, please contact your advisor. New students in the Accelerated Nursing Programs should refer to their Incoming Student Portal for information on which courses to register for the first semester.
4. Take Care of Holds
Holds on your student account prevent you from performing certain tasks, such as registering for a Course Section. Holds can be found by clicking on “Academics” icon inside the “Applications” area on the home screen. To have the hold lifted, you need to complete a series of actions, but these depend on the type of hold applied. To view, follow these steps in UR Student.
If you need assistance with holds, please refer to the details and contact information provided for the hold. Likewise, if you are returning from leave you must complete a Return from Leave form prior to registration.
5. Find and Register for Courses
Type " Find Course Sections" in the search bar at the top of the page to find the course(s) you want to register for:
- For the Academic Period enter “Spring 2025 Nursing”
- For the Academic Level choose “Graduate” or “Undergraduate” as appropriate (300 level courses are Undergraduate; 400-500 level courses are Graduate)
- For the Campus Locations leave it blank and then click “Ok”
A list of available courses will appear. Scroll through the list to find your desired course and click on it to ensure it is the correct one. Click on the “Register” button at the bottom of the screen.
You will receive a screen that indicates that you have successfully registered. On this screen you can see all of your registered courses by clicking on the “View Registered Courses" button. See more on How to Find and Register for Courses.
Registering for Courses from Saved Schedule
In UR Student, you also have the option to use the “Saved Schedule” feature to help you build your schedule before registration. If you use this feature, you will still need to return to UR Student after the registration period opens to register for the appropriate courses. Selecting courses for “Saved Schedule” DOES NOT register you for courses. See more on How to Register from a Saved Schedule.
