Preparing to Register 

It is important to prepare and plan ahead for each registration cycle.  You can prepare for registration by checking your registration status to determine when you can register and identify and resolve issues that may prevent registration.  You can plan ahead by identifying the courses required for your program and which courses are being offered in the upcoming term. 

Checking Your Registration Status

Your registration status includes your time ticket and factors that might prevent you from registering, including holds, academic standing and your student status.

To check your registration status, log into Gulfline then: 

    • Select the "Student" Tab
    • Select "Registration"
    • Select "Check Your Registration Status"
    • Choose a term from the "Select a Term" dropdown menu

Time Tickets

Your time ticket, or priority registration, indicates the specific day and time you are able to register in Gulfline as determined by your earned credits hours.

Immunization

Proof of immunization is required before you will be able to register for classes. Visit  Student Health Services  for detailed information regarding immunizations, such as types of immunization and the documentation required.  Failing to provide the appropriate proof of immunization will result in a hold on your account that will prevent registration. 

Academic Standing 

Students who are not in Good Standing will have an Academic Standing hold placed on their record that will prevent registration in future terms.  Students who have this hold on their account will need to meet with their academic advisor.

Learn more about academic standing.

Student Status
