Registration Dates and Information

Early Registration is for currently enrolled students based on the number of credit hours earned prior to the start of the current semester. Students must consult with their advisor before registering for classes. An appointment schedule will be posted on/near the advisor's office door. Distance learners/night students must contact their advisor in order to discuss the process for registration. Students will either be registered in classes by their advisor or the advisor may elect to provide a student registration code allowing the student to register in classes using the OneTech portal.

Students currently enrolled in the fall 2024 semester may be eligible to register for the future based on their number of earned hours at the start of the fall 2024 semester according to the following schedule:

You must be admitted to Arkansas Tech University before you can sign up for an appointment. If you have questions about your admissions status, check your OneTech account or contact Admissions at (479) 968-0343. If you need help activating your OneTech, visit webapps.atu.edu/ams/. Students transferring or returning to Tech who have applied for admission, and completed all admission requirements, will receive a letter from the Office of Admissions inviting them to participate in registration.

Newly admitted transfer and returning students with less than 60 earned hours or are undeclared or any student who needs additional guidance in selecting a major should call or visit the Academic Advising Center (479-964-0850, Rothwell 107) to schedule an advising/registration appointment beginning December 3.

*Test Scores: Although test scores are not required for admission to ATU, state law requires all incoming first-time students to have test scores on file before registering for classes. If you do not have ACT, SAT or ACCUPLACER test scores on file at the time of your scheduled appointment, your appointment will be rescheduled. If you have not done so, send test scores to ATU Admissions at admissions@atu.edu. If you need to schedule an ACCUPLACER exam, contact ATU Testing Services at (479) 968-0308.

Students who did not participate in early registration, may register by appointment (based on advisor availability). Students will either be registered in classes by their advisor or their advisor can elect to give the student their registration code to register using the OneTech portal. Who is your advisor?
