When I submit a class I get Errors Found instead of Success! When I click where it says Errors Found this is what it says.

(Explanation of error codes)

Code:Department Consent Required to Enroll in Class, Add Not Processed.
Explanation: The class that you are trying to enroll in requires students to get permission from that department before you enroll.
Solution: In order to get permission to take the class, contact the department associated with the class and ask to be authorized to register for it. For a list of campus departments and phone numbers, visit http://www.iupui.edu/academic/schoolsdepts.htm.

Code: Time Scheduling Conflict for class ##A## and ##B##, not enrolled.
Explanation: The class that you are trying to enroll in is scheduled to be held at the same time and day as a class that is already on your schedule. You cannot be in two places at once!
Solution:Enroll in a class that is held at a different time or day. Or drop the class on your schedule that is conflicting with the class that you are trying to add.

Code:Hold on record, Add not processed.
Explanation: At least one department at IUPUI has placed you on a hold to prevent you from registering for classes. Registration will not be possible until the hold has been released.
Solution: See "I tried to register for classes but OneStart said I have a hold on my record, what do I do now?" in the FAQ .

Code: Maximum term Unit Load exceeded
Explanation: This means that you are trying to register for too many credit hours in one term. Students are allowed to carry a credit hour load of 18 hours in fall and spring and 7 hours each summer session.
Solution: If you are planning to drop another class, do that first. Then add the new class after making sure it is open.

I tried to register for classes but OneStart said I have a hold on my record, what do I do now?

  1. Login to OneStart. (See "How do I login to OneStart" in the FAQ)
  2. Click on the Services tab.
  3. Click on the Student Self Service link on the left.
  4. In the area that says Student Information Snapshot,
    click on the link that says Holds on My Record.
  5. This will produce a list of every department that has a hold on your record, click on the [Details] link provided. There could be more than one hold from which to choose.

The next page will show details about the hold and provide a method (Phone number or e-mail address) to release the hold.

Note: Students must contact each department on the list and take action to release each hold before registration will be possible. Allow 24 hours for Bursar holds and Immunization (Meningitis) holds to be released.

When I try to login to OneStart it tells me Access Denied

Call the UITS help desk at (317-274-4357) for all OneStart login issues.

NOTE: The registrar’s office is unable to help you with this situation.

When I login to OneStart I don’t have a Services tab or a Student Self Service Category on the left side of the page

The class that I registered for doesn’t show up when I login to Oncourse

Be sure that you have registered for the class properly by checking your schedule in Onestart.
(See "How do I view my class schedule in Onestart?" in the FAQ.)
On your schedule the class should say Enrolled. If the class says Waiting then you are not enrolled yet, you are on the waitlist.

After registering for class, students should allow 24 hours for Oncourse to be updated.
If after 24 hours the class still does not show up in Oncourse, contact the UITS help desk at (317-274-4357) and your instructor.

I’m trying to register for classes but OneStart only shows the previous terms I attended, not the one I’m trying to register for.

There are several different scenarios that could be occurring.

  1. If you have not attended class at IUPUI in over 12 months, and are an undergraduate student, you should contact the Enrollment Center at 274-4591. If you are a graduate student, contact your school or department (Business,Education etc.) to have your record reactivated. After your record has been reactivated, you will need to continue to step 2.
  2. If you only missed one term or after you have completed step 1, you need to call (317) 274-1519 and ask to be "Term Activated" for the current term.
  3. After you are term activated, allow 20-30 minutes for system changes to take place. Then there will be a link for the term you wish to register for in OneStart.

Where can I find all of the important dates regarding registration?

Go to this web address: http://registrar.iupui.edu/accal.html and choose a term.

I thought my university ID number was my social security number

Your social security number was used as your university ID at one point in time.
Now you are identified in our student information system with a unique 10 digit number.

(See "How do I find my University ID number in Onestart?" in the FAQ.)

Where is my university ID number located on my Jagtag

If your Jagtag was made prior to 2006 it may not have your university ID numbers on it. Jagtags made after Jan. 2006 have the university ID number located towards to the top right corner of the card.
