12. To see if you are registered you can look at the Add/Drop classes page of registration or the Student Detail Schedule page.

NOTE: if you prefer to register on the Add/Droip menu like before, you can get the crns from the “At Your Fingertips Class Schedule” and register that way as well.  

How to register for BALA classes on the Add/Drop menu of Registration:

Please note the CRN (course reference number) for each course preselected by you and your advisor, from the Class Schedule at Your Fingertips, before going to the student system for registration.

Register:

• Go to UALR’s student records system (BOSS) at http://boss.ualr.edu/.
• Select the “Enter Secure Area (LOGIN)” link.
• Enter your student ID # in the “User ID” box.
• Enter your PIN number in the “PIN” box. Your PIN is provided in your admission acceptance letter and used each time you log in to the student records system. (If this is your first log into BOSS, you will be asked to enter a security question and answer.)
• Observe the important dates.
• Click the “Student Services” tab at the top of the page.
• Select “Registration”.
• Select “Add/Drop Classes” link. (This brings up an entry form that lets you input Course Reference Numbers manually.)
• Select the term for which you wish to register & click the “Submit” button.
• This brings up an entry form that lets you input Course Reference Numbers manually.
• Enter the CRNs for the courses preselected by you and your advisor.
• Click the “Submit Changes” button.
• Be sure to click the “Exit” link (upper right-hand side of window), when you have finished using the system.

…and, If You Need to Adjust Your Schedule, Once You Have Already Registered…

…follow the steps above, down to the selection of the “Add/Drop Classes” link (you may be asked to choose the correct semester). Your current schedule will be displayed. Under the “Action” column, next to the class you wish to drop, you can choose “Drop Web” and click the “Submit Changes” button.

Once you’ve added or dropped your classes, you can view your semester schedule one of two ways from the “Registration” menu:

• “Student Schedule by Day & Time” gives you a day-by-day grid of the week, showing your classes in their time slots (which is not very helpful for online courses).
• “Student Detail Schedule” opens a detailed grid of information about each individual class.

To Find Out How Much Money You Owe:

From the “Registration” menu, select the “Registration Fee Assessment” link. (You may be prompted to select the correct term.)
