Register for Classes

You are eligible to register if you have been admitted to UAB, your financial records in the Student Accounting Office are clear, and you meet the conditions listed below for your student category (currently enrolled student, previously enrolled student, new graduate student, new undergraduate student or non-degree student). If you are eligible to register, it will be to your advantage to register during the assigned times listed in Assigned Time Registration). NOTE: Individuals are not allowed to attend University courses unless officially enrolled for class through the appropriate registration process.

CURRENTLY ENROLLED STUDENTS: If you are currently attending UAB, you will receive an email notifying you when assigned times have been posted for students. You may then log in to BlazerNET and check your Registration Status for your exact day and time of registration.

PREVIOUSLY ENROLLED STUDENTS: If you have not attended UAB within the last academic year (3 semesters) or attended any other college or university since you last enrolled at UAB, you must apply for readmission. To apply online visit the undergraduate or graduate website.

NEW UNDERGRADUATE STUDENTS: Newly-admitted undergraduate students register for classes during open registration.

• Degree Seeking - Newly-admitted degree-seeking undergraduate students will register for classes prior to attending orientation as long as they complete the necessary steps on the pre-orientation checklist.
• Non-Degree Seeking – Non-degree undergraduate students register during Open Registration and are not required to attend orientation.

NEW GRADUATE STUDENTS: Newly-admitted graduate students may register during the assigned or open registration periods.

Currently Enrolled Students: You will receive a notice informing you that your assigned time to register can be viewed in BlazerNET.

Registration may be completed online.

Previously Enrolled Students: If you are a former undergraduate student who has not attended UAB within the last year (three academic terms) or who has attended another college or university since you last enrolled, you must apply for readmission.

If you are a graduate student who has not attended UAB within the past year, you must apply for readmission. Apply with the UAB Graduate School, uab.edu/graduate.

If accepted, you are subject to the policies of the current catalog at that time. Reestablishment of your registration records will involve at least an overnight delay, which means you will not be able to register on the day of readmission.

New Undergraduate and Graduate Students: Newly admitted students may register during the assigned or open (unassigned) registration periods.

Nondegree Students: Undergraduate students classified as transient, temporary, postgraduate, nondegree, or auditor (no credit work taken) may register only during the open (unassigned) registration period.
