Registration
Updated 9/21/2022
All matriculated students in good financial standing, and in compliance with College policy are eligible to register for classes. Registration is accessed using your account from a computer with the necessary internet access. The date and time you become eligible to register may be accessed in Student Planning under Advising for the appropriate registration term.
Individual students will be assigned a specific day and time during each registration period that specifies when they are first eligible to participate in registration.
Online Access to Courses
You must satisfy all required course prerequisites, and the course section must have a seat available. Other restrictions may apply. Typical examples include formal declaration of a particular academic major, or permission of the course instructor. The registration process for courses requiring an instructor鈥檚 signature may be completed in the Registrar鈥檚 Office or online using Student Planning. You must register for courses requiring additional documentation such as Independent Study courses in the Registrar鈥檚 Office.
Advising Process
You are strongly advised to utilize the advising tools available to you prior to registration. You should communicate with your academic advisor prior to your scheduled time for registration. You may have the option of meeting with your academic advisor once you become eligible to register, or you can have a similar conversation electronically within Student Planning. Note that some students may be required to secure advisor approval prior to being eligible to register. Be sure to plan accordingly.
All students are encouraged to utilize Student Planning 鈥淢y Progress鈥� ( > Student Services > Student Planning > 鈥淢y Progress鈥� to assess progress toward completion of the intended degree program requirements. Identify the remaining courses that must be completed for your degree program, and based on proper course sequence, and or course prerequisites, determine which courses should be taken next.
Review the schedule of courses located at > Student Services > Student Planning > Course Catalog. You will be able to access course/section information including meeting times, location, instructor, enrollment capacity, and whether or not seats are still available (i.e., Open). Check to make sure you have completed the prerequisites for the courses you wish to take. Prerequisite information is found within the Course Catalog in Student Planning. Add the courses/sections that best meet your needs to your Course plan based on the requirements for your major. Identify several alternative section options as well in the event that your first choices are not available when you are registering.
Communication with your designated advisor is either required or recommended. If you do not have an individual academic advisor, contact the department Chair, attend an advising session offered by that department, or contact Academic and Career Advising Center (358-2500) with questions or concerns.
Registration Process
As the time for registration approaches each semester, there will be a variety of announcements published electronically (e.g., , Campus News, 91影视 web page) and in print (e.g., Equinox) alerting the campus.
Each student can view their assigned registration date and time in Student Planning. Contact the HelpDesk@keene.edu if you need your password reset.
You should participate in registration when you are scheduled to. If you are unable to do so, you should complete the process as soon as possible after your scheduled time, but prior to the conclusion of the registration period. Once you become eligible to register, you may return to registration as often as necessary to complete the process.
Building a Course Plan
Registration is accessed at My91影视 > Student Services > Student Planning. You will be presented with two initial options: My Progress or Plan and Schedule. You will be able to use either option to search for sections to add to your Course Plan. Prior to registration, you should build a course plan, with alternate choices.

Registration for Permission (Signature) Required Courses

Register for such courses using a Schedule Adjustment Form available online at .

If a course requires additional paperwork such as a Special Permission Form for an Independent Study, those forms can be found on the Registrar’s Forms Page.
