For your first semester of study, you are registered through the office of Academic Advisement.

For semesters after that, you register on your own:

• Using Student Planning: Undergraduate Registration Instructions
• Using the Nazareth App.
• Registration instructions for Acadeum courses.

Undergraduate students: You must be approved for registration by your advisor(s) each semester.

Dates are published each semester for the official advisement period, although you are encouraged to make an appointment with your advisor at any time to discuss your educational planning and academic issues.

In your NazNet Self-Service account (Academics > Student Planning section), your advisor's name is listed under "Plan & Schedule" and then select the Advising tab.

For more information about advisement: Academic Advisement website.

After the first semester, register online using Student Planning in NazNet Self-Service.

You are registered for your first semester through the Academic Advisement Center.

• First-year students are registered through completion of a registration questionnaire.
• Transfer students attend an academic orientation session for advisement and registration.

New students: View your course schedule through Student Planning on the "Plan & Schedule" screen after a designated date.

Contact Academic Advisement at 585-389-2871 to make any schedule changes.

Undergraduate students who entered Nazareth in fall 2023 or after are required to take a course in Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Belonging (DEIB).

If you need or want to take a course that is closed, you MUST put yourself on the waitlist for the course. If you are on a waitlist and a seat becomes available in the course, you will be notified through your Nazareth email. Be sure to check your email regularly.

• You must respond within 48 hours or you will be removed from the waitlist and lose the seat to the next person on the list.
• Waitlists are processed on a first-come, first-served basis, so place yourself on the waitlist for a closed course as soon as possible during the registration period.
• You can see that a course is waitlisted on your plan under on the "Plan & Schedule" screen in Student Planning. These courses will be in red and will say "Waitlisted" instead of "Planned."
• You may register for a full course load (15 credits) and be on a waitlist at the same time.
• You cannot waitlist and register for different sections of the same course.

Being on the waitlist does not guarantee that you will get a seat in the course. You should register for another course in case you do not get into the closed course.

Forms and Petitions for course substitutions, pass/fail options, add/drop courses, and more.

We have identified several courses offered through Acadeum schools during the summer that are equivalent to Naz PEQ courses. If you are interested in enrolling in one of these courses, be sure to discuss your plans with your advisor first and then log in to the Acadeum Course Share Platform to start the registration process. Learn more about Acadeum courses.

Do NOT skip classes to register! This is not a valid excuse. Your assigned start date/time is simply the earliest date/time that you may register on-line. You may register any time after your start time. Registration will remain open until 4:30 p.m. on Friday of the first week of classes.

If this is the first time you are retaking the course, you can register via NazNet Self Service. If this will be your second time retaking it, you will need to submit an undergraduate student petition and get the required signatures for approval. See Forms & Petitions to get a petition.

To register pass/fail for a course that is normally graded, you should plan the course as you would any other. When you select a section of the class, there is an option to view a drop down menu for “Grading.” This is where you can choose to take a class pass fail. You can then add the section and register for the course. See page 11 of the NazNet Self-Service Guide for Undergraduate Students. Note: Pass/fail requires an approval form to be submitted see pass/fail policy and get the needed form on our Forms & Petitions website.

To register for an independent study or tutorial, you must submit the appropriate form to Registration and Records. Only juniors and seniors in good academic standing may apply for an independent study or tutorial. Get the form on our Forms & Petitions website.

No. Once you register for a course you are waitlisted for, you are automatically removed from the waitlist for all other sections. You can monitor the availability for your preferred section using Plan & Schedule in NazNet Self-Service by planning the preferred course section and checking availability.

Stay on the waitlist for the courses you prefer, but select other courses that are open that work toward completion of your program. Many students will be dropping courses during the next few weeks and you still may be able to register for your preferred course. Check your email daily to see if a spot has opened up and you can register on the Plan & Schedule screen see page 16 of NazNet Self-Service Guide for Undergraduate Students.

If you plan to register for a course overload, you must submit a petition form to  Registration and Records ideally before your registration time, otherwise Student Planning will not allow you to register for the extra credit(s). Registration and Records has to register you for the course(s) beyond 19 credits so register for courses with the smallest availability on your own. The office will register you for the other coursework when you submit the approved petition on or after your registration priority. See our Forms and Petitions website for the form.

Students in their first semester at Nazareth are limited to no more than 17 credits (17.5 credits for music majors). Once you get the required signatures, they will register you for the course. Registering for a course overload will affect billing. You will have to pay for each additional credit over the credit max for your program. View the complete course load policy.

You may have been put on Academic Probation because of your GPA from last semester. Because of this, you can only register for a designated credit amount to help you improve your GPA. Once you are off probation, the credit limit will be lifted from your account.

Student Planning will not allow you to register for more credits than your limit dictates. Your limit will be removed at the end of the semester based on your GPA, and you will be able to add more classes at that time.

You need to get in contact with your advisor for advisement and course approval, and you will be able to register yourself on Student Planning in NazNet Self-Service. Note: students in teacher certification programs need approvals from both major and education advisors.

Within each of the Core areas, there are a number of course options from which to choose. See the Finding PEQs Two Ways help video or check page 8 of NazNet Self-Service Guide for Undergraduate Students.

There are a few possible issues:

• You may have planned courses but did not choose course sections. See the Pick a Course Section help video or check page 8 of NazNet Self-Service Guide for Undergraduate Students.
• You may be trying to register before your registration priority. Double check your priority on Plan & Schedule in Student Planning in NazNet Self-Service. See page 13 of NazNet Self-Service Guide for Undergraduate Students for visual guidance.
• You may have an account hold – contact the appropriate office listed on the hold at the top of Plan & Schedule. See page 13 of NazNet Self-Service Guide for Undergraduate Students for visual guidance.

After the first semester, you register online using Student Planning in NazNet Self-Service. See Grad Registration Instructions above and if you need assistance, contact Registration and Records at 585-389-2800 or reg@naz.edu.

After the first semester, many graduate programs do not require advisement each term. Check with your program director or advisor for specific requirements for your program. Please remember, however, that advisors are always available to answer questions and provide guidance.

If you are not sure of the name of your advisor, see the Advising tab on Student Planning in NazNet Self-Service.

You will receive an email message with your username, delivered to the email address you listed on your non-matriculated form. Using the link provided in the email, follow the instructions to set up your accounts. Key accounts to which you will have access include: 

NazNet Self-Service https://mynaznetss.naz.edu/

Overview of your academic record; includes your course schedule and grades once posted at the end of term. Billing is available through NazNet. Be sure to satisfy financial obligations by the published due date to avoid a $275 late payment fee.

Moodle https://lms.naz.edu/ is a main learning management system. 

Naz Email (Google Mail) http:go.naz.edu/google

All faculty, staff and students are provided a Nazareth University email account (@naz.edu), which is the university’s primary official methods of communicating important and time-sensitive information. All are expected to check the mail sent to this account on a frequent and consistent basis. Enter your username and the initial password (Nazareth and the last four digits of your social security number). 

Non-matriculated students do not have access to online registration capability. If you decide to drop your course after you have registered, you must email registrar@naz.edu to request to drop. Deadlines are posted on the Academic Calendar. The date of drop or withdrawal from a course will be the date of emailing the request to the Registration & Records office; if applicable, refunds will be made accordingly. Simply ceasing to attend classes or notifying the instructor does not constitute official withdrawal and will result in a course grade of “F” and full financial liability. Check with Student Accounts regarding any financial penalties.

Visit the Academic Calendar to view semester dates, deadlines for course drops, grading, and more.

New York state Law requires all students taking 6 credits or more to show protection against measles, mumps, and rubella. Submit your proof of relevant immunizations through the Naz student health portal.

Students who are non-compliant with immunization policies will be unable to continue with coursework. 

See Student Health Information and Immunization Requirements.

Contact Health and Counseling if you have questions.
