Spring 2025 Final Exam Schedule

Undergraduate Advising/Pre-registration Information

The pre-registration period is set aside for currently enrolled students. Enrolled students must meet with their advisor before pre-registration to plan their upcoming schedule. Students should contact their advisors to schedule appointments. Students will not be able to register via Banner Self-Service until their advisor has cleared them to register. Students with a declared major who have not been assigned an advisor should contact the departmental office of their major. Students without a declared major should contact the general studies advisor in the Falcon Success Center in Van Tuyll House by calling 205-665-6092. Students must follow the procedures listed below to complete the pre-registration process.

1 – Check your student account for any HOLDS. You will not be able to register if you have a hold on your account. Holds are applied to a student’s account for a variety of reasons including student conduct sanctions, health forms/test results and unpaid fees. Remind your student to check their account a few weeks before registration begins to see if a hold has been applied to their account. This can be seen by going into Banner Self-Service. Until a hold is removed, students cannot register for classes or drop/add classes after they register.

2 – Meet with your academic advisor to plan your schedule.

3 – Your advisor will enter a PIN number that allows you to register for classes.

4 – Register for classes (according to the schedule below) by logging into Banner Self-Service via the link at the bottom of the montevallo.edu webpage. For detailed instructions about the registration process, visit the Registrar’s webpage: montevallo.edu/about-um/administration/registrars-office/registration-information/banner-self-service-registration-instructions/.
