of the screen for more information. Once you know what sort of hold(s) you
have, please contact the appropriate office (see list at the end of this

assigned time.

The Schedule
of Classes will be available on-line several weeks before
you register.
The on-line schedule is updated as changes are made, so
you'll want to check the schedule right before you register in case any changes
will affect your schedule. You can
also see if classes are closed by checking the on-line schedule.
Meet with your advisor during the advising period. Please
schedule your advising appointment at least 2 days before your registration
time.
Below are some frequently asked questions about registration:
I've heard that some students can register via the web; who
gets to do this and how?
All students studying on off-campus
programs register on-line.
Eligibility for other students on-line depends on
several factors. Check this link for details.
Students eligible to register on-line
will register via their KnowHopePlus account.
You can read about the process for on-line registration at http://www.hope.edu/admin/registrar/Hero.html.
Students who are eligible to register
on-line will need a registration PIN-available only
from their advisor. Students who are studying on an official Hope
College-approved off-campus program will not need a registration PIN.
If you want to register for classes requiring
permission of instructor or chair, you will need to bring signed permission
slips to
the Registrar's Office. We will add
these classes to your schedule when we receive the signed permission slips. You cannot register for these classes on-line.
What should I do before I meet with my advisor?
Run a degree evaluation to see the requirements for general
education and minors and majors you have declared or are considering. Never run one? Check this link http://www.hope.edu/admin/registrar/CAPP/CAPP-Main.html
Check the Hope College Catalog on-line for
course descriptions and prerequisites.
Check out the "Advising
Helps" on the
Registrar's Office home page.
Using the schedule
of classes, plan a tentative
schedule, using the class schedule
planner. Don't
forget to block out times for drills, labs, discussion sections. Consider
alternates in case classes you want are full.
After you've planned a tentative schedule
and alternates, make an appointment with your academic advisor. Schedule your appointment for at least two
days prior to your registration time.
If you are eligible to register on-line, your advisor will
give you your registration PIN. You
may not register on-line without this PIN.
I've forgotten my advisor's name and/or office location!
Check with the Registrar's Office (first
floor of the DeWitt Center),

I'm graduating, but I plan to take classes next semester. I didn't get a registration time; what should
I do to get one?
You'll need to complete a readmission application (you can
get one from the Admissions Office on 10th Street). As
soon as Admissions enters your application information, you will receive
your registration time.
I have a hold (rather than a registration time); what should
I do?
If you have a hold, click
on "View Hold" on the registration screen to see what kind of hold you have. Then contact the appropriate office:

You may not register

to act promptly. Once your hold is resolved and removed, you
can check your KnowHopePlus account for your registration time
I'm not coming back to Hope; who needs to be told?
If you are leaving Hope and are not graduating, you should
complete a Non-Return/Withdrawal form. Forms
are available in the Registrar's Office, DeWitt Center, first floor.
What do I need to bring to Maas Auditorium when
I register?
Bring your completed registration form
signed by your advisor and permission slips for any classes listed in the
schedule as "RESTRICTED" or "Written
permission of instructor (or chairperson) required." You must have these
items to register.
I encourage you to also bring a schedule
planner with
alternate classes in case your first-choice classes are
full and a printed copy of your degree evaluation.
What happens if a class I want is full?
Whether you register on-line or in person,
you can be added electronically to wait lists for full classes. Students
on wait lists will be notified of their status via email and given instructions
about how to follow-up.
I've got questions. Who
can help me?
Come to the Registrar's
Office (first floor of the DeWitt Center). We're happy to help you.
