Registration
Before the scheduled date for registration, a schedule of the classes to be offered for the next semester is made available on the Middle Georgia State University website. Prior to the registration period, all students are encouraged to meet with their advisor. During the registration period, students may register online at www.mga.edu by clicking on the SWORDS Secure Login link. Certain student populations such as dual enrolled, learning support, international students and athletes, will have a registration hold which prevents them from self-registration. Students with registration HOLDS must register through an advisor in the School that houses their degree major. Registration is prioritized. Seniors, veterans, athletes, Dual Enrollment students, students with F1 visas, and students with disabilities can register on the first day of the registration period. They are followed by juniors, sophomores and freshmen on subsequent days. Students may register at any of the five Middle Georgia State University campuses and online. New students are required to meet with an advisor before they register. Detailed instructions are available on the SWORDS registration page. Registration information is also available on the Registrar's homepage at http://www.mga.edu/registrar/.
Students are responsible for registering for the correct courses consistent with their programs of study as outlined in the Middle Georgia State University catalog. All students must abide by course prerequisites. Students must also pay attention to scheduling sessions (full session, first session, second session) as well as to time and campus location. Students are responsible for checking their schedules after they register to ensure that the intended courses are listed.
Students should understand that they will receive a grade in each class recorded on their class schedules. Students who do not attend those specific classes and sections will receive a grade of "F" in each class not attended unless they officially drop the class. Students without HOLDS may drop courses online. Courses may also be dropped in the Office of the Registrar at the Macon and Cochran campuses or the administrative offices at other campuses. The last date to drop/add courses can be found on the academic calendar http://www.mga.edu/academics/calendars/default.aspx.
