What do you do if you need to do something?
Sometimes you just need to know.
Email your advisor and let them know that you won’t be able to attend your appointment. Then use the Scheduling Portal to reschedule your appointment.
Speak with your professor and your advisor about your options. You should do this as soon as you realize that you are struggling, as it is easiest to remedy this issue early on.
Withdrawing or dropping a class once the class begins is sometimes necessary, but this should only be done after you have met with your advisor you understand initial the terms and conditions of dropping a class on the Registrar Website.

Email your advisor or schedule an appointment to meet with them and discuss what’s going on and why you are needing to withdraw. Your advisor can help you with determining your next steps and acquiring the necessary forms and signatures.

To view your account holds, log into your myUSI, Student Apps, DegreeWorks. Any holds will be listed on the top right corner of the page. You cannot register for classes until all your account holds are removed. Here are what a few holds mean and who you should contact about resolving them:
If you’re uncomfortable approaching your professor or don’t know how, you can email your advisor or schedule an appointment with them. They can help you navigate any issues you are having. If you are uncomfortable speaking with your advisor about the problem, you can also contact the Dean of Students Office.
Read the error message that you are receiving. If you are told that the class is full, then there are no more seats remaining in the class. You can waitlist the class, but you cannot register for it unless a space opens. If the error message says that you are restricted by major or do not meet the prerequisites for the class, then you have not taken enough required courses to enroll in the class, you may have retaken the class too many times, or it is restricted in some other way. If you receive this error but were advised to take this class, please contact your advisor, as you may need an override to register for it. Sometimes, there are special, restricted classes that you can still select under Self Service, even though you cannot enroll in them. If a class section is titled something like AO, AS, ND, NC, T0, W, HS, H0, or HO, these are special class designations that are not open to general enrollment and apply only towards certain programs. If you have tried to register for a class with one of these section codes and are receiving an error, that is likely why. Typically, your courses will start with numbers or the letters NO or NS. You can learn more about section codes here: https://www.usi.edu/registrar/classes/course-numbers-and-section-codes/
What does that mean? If the course is closed, that means that all the seats in that class or section have been taken and you will not be able to register for that class or section. Some courses offer a waitlist, but not every class. If you have questions about the closed class or waitlist, please contact the department that is offering the class. Advisors do not have the ability to put you in a class that is full or on a waitlist.
Students who do not meet the minimum standards of academic progress will be placed on academic probation for one semester. During that semester, the student should make use of the available university resources to improve academic skills and performance. Failure to meet the minimum standards of progress at the end of the probationary semester will result in academic dismissal from the university.
Once you successfully achieved the minimum grade requirements of your probation term and your cumulative GPA is 2.000 or higher, you will be removed from academic probation automatically.
If you are assigned an Academic Advisor in an Advising Center, you can reach out to the Advising Center Director if your are comfortable doing that or you can reach out to David Henriques, the Executive Director for assistance in changing your academic advisor.
If you are assigned to a faculty advisor, you will need to reach out to the Program Chair of the department or the Dean of the College for assistance in changing your academic advisor.
If you are not sure if you have a faculty advisor or an advisor from the Advising Centers, you can email usi.adivsing@usi.edu for help.
