Only graduate students may audit a class. All “Audits” must be declared
by the seventh class day of the Fall and Spring semester, and the fifth
class day for Summer Session.
To declare an “Audit”:
- Add the class to your schedule via the Register: Add/Drop link in the
Student Services channel
- Go to the Office of the Registrar at 105 Main Building or send an e-mail
to vprimros@nd.edu
- Request the “Audit” (specify the CRN and Course Number)
- The “Audit” will be assigned to the class by the Office of the Registrar
All regulations and restrictions pertaining to a class and maximum credit hours
allowed for the semester remain in effect whether or not the class is taken for
“Audit” or “Credit.”
Classification is the new terminology for what used to be referred to as Level. Classification indicates whether you are an undergraduate Freshman, Sophomore, Junior, Senior, First Year Law Student, 2nd Year Graduate Business student, etc.
On the Register Add/Drop screen, also known as the "registration worksheet," classes with co-requisite courses must be submitted at the same time. The CRNs for each co-requisite course must be present on the registration worksheet when the "Submit Changes" button is clicked.
For example, if a course has a lab, the CRN of the main course must be on the registration worksheet AND the CRN of the lab must be on the registration worksheet prior to "Submit Changes" being clicked.
Beginning in Summer Session 2005, all the courses offered at Notre Dame are 5 numeric digits long.
The numbering scheme includes some built-in standards. The first digit of the course number indicates the Level of the course. 1 through 5 are undergraduate courses, 6 through 9 are graduate level courses. The second digit indicates what type of course it is, be it a lab, a tutorial, a seminar, or study abroad. Zero will be the most frequently used second digit, as it indicates the course is a “regular” classroom course.
The second digit of the 5-digit course number is the key to determining what type of course it is. The most common second digits will be "0" to indicate the course is a "regular classroom" course, "1" to indicate the course is a lab, "2" to indicate a discussion group or tutorial, and "3" to indicate a seminar. The complete listing of second digit meanings is included below.
X 0 - XXX = Regular classroom course
X 1 - XXX = Lab / Drill / Studio
X 2 - XXX = Tutorial / Discussion Group
X 3 - XXX = Seminar
X 4 - XXX = Off Campus / Study Abroad
X 5 - XXX = Internship / Field Work
X 6 - XXX = Directed Readings
X 7 - XXX = Special Studies
X 8 - XXX = Thesis / Research / Dissertation
X 9 - XXX = Reserved for Future Use
The first two numbers should be taken as one entity, and the last three
numbers should be taken as a second entity. This way, referring to course
HIST 20345, would be spoken, “History Twenty, Three Forty Five.” A
Senior HIST seminar, 43219, for example, would be Forty Three, Two Nineteen.
If you know a specific course number and want to know what the converted number is, you can use the Course Inventory application (http://reg-apps.nd.edu/CourseInventory/).
No. All the old 3-digit course numbers have been coded into the new system as equivalent courses to their 5-digit counterparts. If you attempt to register for a course you have already taken under the 3-digit numbering scheme, you will receive an error if the course is not repeatable.
The CRN stands for “Course Reference Number” and replaces the “Call Number” of the course. It is not the same as the Course Number. CRN’s will be 4 digits long for Summer Session. CRN’s will be 5 digits long for Fall and Spring semesters. In the Fall, CRN’s will begin with a “1.” In the Spring, CRN’s will begin with a “2.”
There are a number of resources available to students who have questions about registering for classes for the first time. There will be online tutorials posted within insideND. Students can ask their roommates for assistance, the campus computer cluster consultants will have received training, the FAQ's on the Office of the Registrar's homepage are available, and the OIT Helpdesk and the RCA's are available to answer questions. Additionally, each department will have received training prior to students registering, so questions could be directed to your department. Students are always welcome to contact the Office of the Registrar with questions, as well.
Graduation honors will be computed based on GPA, and the threshold GPA
required for honors will vary from year to year. For additional information
regarding Graduation honors, please click here: http://registrar.nd.edu/LatinHonors.shtml

InsideND (http://inside.nd.edu) is the online Notre Dame community. Students will be able to access personal information, register for classes, and check final grades. But they will also be able to contact their professors, check their e-mail, and make connections with other individuals and groups across campus. insideND is a secure site that allows for a single sign-on for multiple services. It replaces IrishLink as the provider of student information, and expands on the functionality that students had in the past. Students can use their NetID and password to log in. Students were required to use insideND to register for classes.
The University has eliminated Social Security Number as a primary student
identifier. The ndID replaces the SSN as the student’s permanent ID
at the University. The ndID is a 9-digit number, beginning with “9.”
The ndID is not the same as the NetID. In most cases, the NetID can be used
to log into University services.
For the Fall and Spring registration, students will receive their PIN from their academic advisor or from the department of their first major. There are no PIN's required for the Summer Semester.
The "Alternate PIN" is the term used for the Registration PIN. Because students are using insideND to access their information, the "Primary PIN" is not used. The NetID and password replace the Primary PIN. The "Alternate PIN" is the PIN received from an academic advisor or department to be used for registration.
Once obtained, the Alternate PIN will be valid through midnight--the end of the 7th class day (5th class day for Law students). Students who are returning from an official Leave of Absence will have Registration Alternate PINs available in the departmental office of their major. Freshmen should follow the guidelines sent by the First Year of Studies.
You will be required to enter your Registration Alternate PIN each time you enter the Registration Worksheet. After you register for at least one class, if you forget your "Alternate PIN" you can find it by clicking the "Forgotten PIN" link at the bottom of the "Registration PIN Verification" page.
The University will no longer provide Rank in Class information, effective Summer 2005.
“Registration time ticketing” is the phrase that indicates
a student is able to start registering for classes. The student's registration
“window” doesn’t close for the Fall and Spring semesters
until the 7th class day (5th class day for Law students) of the semester
for which they are registering.
Time tickets for students taking classes during the Summer are much longer
due to the many different 1st class days.
Each continuing student will receive an e-mail from the Office of the Registrar informing them of when the Time Ticket information will be available.
Registration time tickets for students are scheduled by the student’s classification, and around the current class schedule.
To register for classes, log in at insideND (http://inside.nd.edu) using your NetID and password. Go to the Student Academic channel and select "Add or Drop classes" from the "Registration Tools" menu.
Yes. First, at the appropriate time, log in through insideND and click on the "Add or Drop classes" from the "Registration Tools" menu link in the Student Academics channel. Second, select a Term. Third, if prompted insert your registration PIN. Fourth, fill out the Registration worksheet with the CRN's of the classes you wish to register for. Fifth, click on the “Submit Changes” button. Sixth, review your schedule via insideND.
Log in through insideND to search for courses. Prior to registration, click on the "Schedule of Classes" or the "Class Search" link in the Student Academic Channel, and select the term. During your registration period, click on the "Add or Drop classes" link. The only difference between the two searches is the ability to add classes' CRN's directly to the registration worksheet when using the "Add or Drop classes" link.
Students are able to search for classes using a variety of variables such as meeting time, professor, and course attribute. Use the animated tutorial for specific, step-by-step instructions.
Classes can be added to the registration worksheet in two ways. The first
way is to simply type the CRN of the course. Students can add up to ten
CRN’s at the same time, and submit all of them simultaneously by
clicking “Submit Changes.” Students will not be allowed to
exceed the maximum number of credits allowed per semester.
The second way to add a CRN to the worksheet is to perform a "class search."
With the results displayed, click the check box to the left of the CRN
for the class or classes you wish to add to your worksheet. Clicking “Add
to Worksheet” does not register you into those classes. Only “Submit
Changes” processes the registration. CRN’s added to the worksheet
will stay on the worksheet for the entire session that you are logged in,
even through multiple class searches. Clicking “Submit Changes” will
process the CRN’s and clear the worksheet.
On the Registration screen, the classes for which you are currently registered will be displayed in the center of the page with a drop-down box to their right. In the box will be displayed the method used to register for that class, generally “Web Added.” Simply use the drop-down box to select “Web Drop” and click “Submit Changes.”
On the Registration screen, select “Web Drop” next to the course you want to remove from your schedule. On the worksheet, add the CRN for the course you want to add. Click “Submit Changes.” This method is not a true “swap” function. The result will be that the class you dropped will be removed from your schedule, whether or not the class you wish to add is added to your schedule. Be sure there are spots available in the class you want to add before dropping a class that you may want to keep.
That depends on the error message. The key below can help explain what each error message means. The most common messages will be that a class is closed or that a student doesn’t meet the prerequisites for the class.
THE MESSAGE IS... |
WHAT IT MEANS... |

No. Mainly due to the it being a static document, and hundreds of changes are made after the printing. However, it will be posted as a pdf document on the Registrar's web site. Class searches will be available via insideND.
"Seat Allocation" is a feature of the registration system. The maximum number of seats that are available in a particular class can be allocated based on the Level, Major, or Classification of the students who are attempting to register for it.
When departments assign the seat allocations for their classes, they may do so using Level (undergraduate, graduate, law, etc.), Major (HIST, HIS2, etc.), or Classification (Freshmen, Seniors, 1st year MBA's, etc). For example, a class can have seats allocated as follows:
10 Unallocated seats
15 ANTH Majors
These seat allocations are still subject to whatever other registration restrictions are in place. In other words, if the class in the example above had also been "Seniors only", then only Seniors would be able to fill the unallocated seats and only Senior majors would be able to take the seats allocated to majors.
It is important to note that there is no "overflow" capability from one allocation to another. In the example above, if all 15 seats were filled by students who were majors, the sixteenth Anthropology major would NOT be able to register for the class...even if there were seats still available in the "unallocated" portion of the class.
Use the "Class Search" link in the Student Academic channel in insideND. Perform the class search, and select a specific course by clicking on the course number (the furthest left-hand column). In the "Registration Availabilty" section of the class information, seat allocations will be displayed, where applicable.
The Office of Information Technology (OIT) recommends running the "Take Charge" application (http://oit.nd.edu/security/) in order to install and run the most recent versions of available anti-virus and anti-spyware applications. Visit the OIT FAQ's for more information at http://oit.nd.edu/helpdesk/adminfaq/student_faqs.shtml.
For technical information, please visit the Office of Information Technology's FAQ's at http://oit.nd.edu/helpdesk/adminfaq/student_faqs.shtml.
YES, please visit the Student Academic channel in insideND and go to "Transcript Request-Order". You can also check on the status of your transcript request. Further information is available at: http://registrar.nd.edu/transcripts.shtml
The information found when clicking on the View Grade History link in the Student Services channel can sometimes be used as an unofficial transcript. A printout of that screen is not an official University document, but it does provide information regarding courses taken, GPA by term, and GPA overall. However, most applications for scholarships, graduate schools, or jobs require an official University transcript.
On the "Detailed Class Information" page of the "Schedule of Classes" search, there is a category that reads, "Waitlist Seats." This category will always have zeros in each column. The University is not using this feature, but we are unable to remove it from this page. Because there are no waitlists for closed courses, students should look for a different class to register for if they receive the "CLOSED SECTION" registration error.
