Frequently Asked Questions

 

  • I found my perfect schedule and saved it to cart. Am I done?
    • Not quite. Complete registration changes in UAOnline.
  • What if I didn鈥檛 get any schedule options?
    • Try changing some of the filters, such as Course Status or Delivery Methods, or adjusting the times of breaks.
    • If there are no options for a particular class, look under the Disabled Options tab; the only classes with open seats may be those that you have filtered out.
    • Choose different Delivery Methods.
  • I tried to register. Why can't I complete registration?
    • Check your Priority Registration date.
    • Check for registration holds on your account.
    • Check prerequisites for the classes.
    • Check registration errors (you may need an instructor override or approval if you are not meeting certain class requirements).
  • Are changes to my schedule still possible while my perfect schedule is waiting for my priority registration date?
    • Yes. Classes can be filled or canceled. Instructor changes can occur. Check CRNs of your preferred classes periodically in UAOnline before your registration date and make sure to adjust your schedule if needed.
  • How do I know if I have enough time to get from one class to another?
    • Use the map of the UAA Main campus. It's a good idea to walk or drive the campus before classes start.
    • Elmendorf Air Force Base and Fort Richardson Base are located off campus. Plan at least a 30-minute drive from the main campus to either of those locations. Please note that special approval is required to access the military base.
  • There is one class I must have this semester; I can be flexible about the rest of the sections. Any tips?
    • Use the lock symbol on the section you wish to keep. Once the section is "locked," click "Generate Schedules" one more time: Schedule Planner will now build a schedule around this one class.
  • Can I share my potential schedule with my advisor?
    • Yes! You can use the email feature in Schedule Planner to send the desired schedule to yourself or an advisor.
