Using Tell-Us for Registration
Before you call:
Step 1
See your advisor to discuss course selections and plan your schedule. Obtain your RAN* if you are majoring in Architecture, Art, Graphic Arts, Medical Lab Science, Music, Nursing or Photography. (*RAN is a Registration Authorization Number).
Step 2
Be sure you have the correct CRNs (Five digit course registration numbers from the Course Guide). Be sure to check the course guide to determine if you have met the course pre-requisite. Please have several alternate sections ready in case your first choices are not available.
Notice: Grade reports will no longer be mailed routinely. You can get your grades in minutes by phone! Refer to Using Tell-Us for Grades.

Please keep your PIN confidential so that no one else may access your personal information and remember the number because no one else will know it!
