Registration and Advising

Registration is the selection of classes following appropriate advisement and the payment of tuition and fees. Persons planning to register for classes at Prairie View A&M University for the first time or who are returning to the University after being disenrolled for one or more previous regular semesters (fall or spring) should be sure that they have met the University’s admission requirements including immunization and TB screening. Applicants for any category of admission will not be permitted to register in courses offered at the main campus in Prairie View, Texas or at any distant site where courses are offered, if admissions requirements have not been met.

All first time freshmen and any transfer students who have completed only one full semester or less (15 hours or less) or have undeclared majors receive initial advisement, appropriate testing and registration in the University College. PV AMU Faculty who serve as Faculty Advisement Coordinators facilitate this process.

Transfer students who have earned 15 or more semester credit hours and who have declared a major as noted in their admissions records are advised and registered in the appropriate department, school or college. Non‑freshmen who have not satisfied their TASP requirements must be placed in their appropriate developmental classes prior to being registered in their departments. This developmental advisement and registration is done in the TASP Office, Delco Building, Room 136.

Pre-nursing majors who have met all TASP requirements and have successfully passed 15 semester credit hours are advised and registered in the Office of Pre-Nursing Advising (L. O. Evans Hall) since admission to the College of Nursing Upper Division Studiers occurs after a student has met all prerequisites and applied for admission.

For questions about the Texas Academic Skills Programs (TASP), the University Scholars Program, the Developmental Studies Program, or the Center for Academic Support, contact the University College. A student has not completed registration and is not entitled to University privileges until required fees have been paid. Course selections of students who fail to pay tuition and fees due by the census day, 12th class day during a fall or spring semester and 4th class day during a summer session, will be cancelled and purged from the information system. Payment of assessed fees after courses have been dropped will not guarantee a student’s gaining re-enrollment in the same courses or course sections.
