Web registration is completed through a secured site and may be accessed directly through your Internet connection by accessing KateWay. You can access KateWay from any computer, both on or off campus. KateWay works best with Internet Explorer and FireFox, but does not work well with older versions of Netscape. If you experience problems, check the browser you are using. If web registration does not work with your browser, or you do not have Internet access, please use one of the computer labs on either campus.

Registration Overrides/Approvals

Approvals – There are some courses that require the instructor or department chair’s approval and cannot be registered for using on-line registration. If you are interested in registering for one of these courses, you will need to obtain the proper form from the Registrar's Office, obtain the appropriate approval signatures and return the completed form to the Registrar's Office.

The courses that need special approvals are listed below:

Directed Study
Independent Study
Internship
CARL
Proficiency Exam

Overrides – An override allows you to register for a course for which you would not typically be eligible because the class is full, you haven’t met the prerequisite(s), you do not have the appropriate classification, you need to repeat the class, etc. If you want to request an override, first consult your academic advisor to see if your request is warranted. If your advisor agrees that it is, contact the chair of the department that offers the course to request the override.

Notes:

Approvals and overrides are only valid when online registration is open. They do not allow you to add the course after online registration has closed.
Approvals and overrides DO NOT register you for the class. It is YOUR responsibility to add the class after you have received the approval or override.
