| Late Registration |
All students (except Freshmen and Special Students) meet on Registration Day, Tuesday, September 8, with their advisors or registration officers to discuss fall term subject selection and complete Registration Forms.
Students' Registration Forms are printed with the subjects selected during pre-registration. The results of subject lotteries appear on the forms, except for Sloan waitlist positions and section information which do not appear.
Students who did not pre-register should write their subject selections on the form.
If a student is on registration hold, the Registration Form is not released to the advisor. Students on hold cannot register until they make arrangements with the office that placed the hold.
The student and advisor make any additions (except for lotteried subjects) or deletions to the student's subject selection directly on the form.
Students cross-registering at Wellesley may write the Wellesley subject number on their registration form. Students who wish to cross-register at Harvard, the Massachusetts College of Art and Design, or the School of the Museum of Fine Arts should follow the special procedures for those schools.
Undergraduates registered for fewer than 36 units (not including Listener or ROTC subjects) are considered to be less than full-time. Read how registration load affects financial aid, loan deferments, compliance with immigration regulations, eligibility for varsity athletics, and external health insurance.
The student and advisor sign the Registration Form. By signing the form the student agrees to pay all charges on his or her student account when due and acknowledges that MIT may assess late charges or finance charges, suspend registration, withhold a degree, and charge collection costs if all charges are not paid. The advisor keeps the pink copy and gives the student both the white and yellow copies, unseparated.
Once the advisor has signed the Registration Form, all subsequent changes to the student's program require Add/Drop/Change forms approved by the advisor.
A lotteried subject can only be added with an Add/Drop/Change form. Students should go to the first meeting of the class with an Add/Drop/Change form and have it signed by the instructor; the student's advisor must also sign the form.
HASS-D classes written in on the Registration Form will not be processed. Students who want to add a HASS-D subject should consult the list of open classes (HASS-D subjects that still have openings after the lottery) and register for the class with an Add/Drop/Change form signed by the instructor and advisor.
Students take the white and yellow copies of the Registration Form to Johnson Athletic Center (W34), between 9:00 am and 5:00 pm on Registration Day, Tuesday, September 8 (unless the student's department has made special arrangements). There both copies are stamped; students should retain their stamped yellow copy.
Students who want to check section listings or revise their class schedules may get assistance from Registrar's Office staff at Johnson.
Students who want to turn in their signed Registration Forms prior to or after Registration Day should submit them to the Student Services Center, 11-120.
There is a $40 late fee if the signed white copy of the Registration Form is not on file in the Student Services Center by the end of the first week of the term (Friday, September 11).
Starting on Friday, September 11, students can view their official subject registrations on WebSIS.
Students are responsible for reviewing their registration carefully and promptly correcting any discrepancies by contacting the Registrar's Office, 5-119.
If students make subsequent changes to their registration during the term, they should recheck it on WebSIS to confirm accuracy.
Students who did not register by Registration Day must:
Failure to complete registration by the end of the second week of the term (Friday, September 18) will result in the loss of student status.
A petition is required to complete registration after Friday, October 9. Undergraduates must petition the Committee on Academic Performance, and graduate students, the Office of the Dean for Graduate Education. A $100 late fee is assessed if the petition is approved.
