Preregistration starts in November for the spring semester and in April for the summer and fall semesters. Be sure to check for registration holds/blocks before your registration time starts to avoid any delays in your registration. Your registration time is posted in your Howdy portal.
Lab Safety Agreement (LSA)
If you will be taking a lab course, you will need to complete the Lab Safety Agreement before Howdy will let you sign up for the course. Remember the LSA is located in your Howdy portal under the My Schedule box. You need to complete an LSA every semester.
Getting a prerequisite error
You will not be allowed to register for courses if you do not meet the prerequisites of those courses either by having a completed grade or being currently registered in the prerequisite course. Issues will arise for students who have transferred courses to Texas A&M or who plan to take summer courses. These issues will mainly be with Math courses that do not directly transfer over to Texas A&M. The most common will be MATH 251 and MATH 308.
If you run into this problem with an aerospace engineering (AERO) course, email an aerospace engineering advisor your name, your Universal Identification Number (UIN) and the Course Registration Number (CRN) of the course you want to sign up for. An advisor can override the prerequisites set on AERO courses only.
AERO Force Request
If an AERO course is full, don't panic. Remember, we can only force you into AERO courses. Advisors will send out force information via the listserv.
