Online Registration Instructions
Prior to registration, check your "Registration Status" by logging in to your myUSF account. Review to see if there are any aspects of your current status that will prevent registration. Also confirm that your college, degree, and major information are current. If you see a problem, contact the Office of the University Registrar, your Dean's Office, or your Program Director's Office for assistance.
Step 1
Go to myUSF in your web browser and log in.
Step 2
Click the Banner Self-Service (Student) app. If you do not see it in your Top Apps, click the View All Apps link and then click Banner Self-Service (Student).
Step 3
You are now in Banner Self-Service on the Student Services landing page. Click on the "Registration" link.
Step 4
Click on "Look Up and Register for Classes." Choose the term for which you would like to register and click the "Submit" button.
Select or search for a course. You can search for courses by selecting and entering specific information known about a particular class. To view all courses available, select "All" across from the "Subject" title and click the "Class Search" button towards the bottom of the screen to display both open and closed sections for the semester.
The course reference number (CRN) of each section is the highlighted five-digit number. After selecting the box to the left of a CRN, you will have the option to either add that course to your worksheet by clicking the "Add to Worksheet" button or registering immediately for that course by clicking the "Register" button (Please note that adding courses to your worksheet does not register you for courses). Sections that are closed will have a "C" where the box to select the course would normally be. Repeat this process until you have added all sections for which you would like to register.
Step 5
If there is no problem with the course sections you have selected, the page will now show your "Current Schedule." Review this schedule to make sure you are registered for all of the classes for which you intended, AND if any of the "Credits" for your registered courses are highlighted in a different color, click on that number to make adjustments. This means you have registered for a variable unit course and you need to enter the correct number of units you want to take. It will appear in a box under the course. If it is correct as is, click "Submit Changes." If it is not, enter the correct number in the box and click "Submit Changes."
Your web registration will not be successful and a message will appear for one or more sections if:
- there is a time conflict between sections you have requested
- you have not satisfied a prerequisite or co-requisite
- special permissions are required to take the section you have requested
- special restrictions on the population of students who may enroll are in effect
If your web registration for a specific course is not successful and you would still like to register for the section, contact the appropriate school or college advising office.
Step 6
Pay tuition and fees by the deadline published on the Student Accounts web site.
