Enrollment Steps

All continuing undergraduate, graduate, and professional students except EMBA, military/NTU, Dispute Resolution and Masters of Counseling.

  • Check Access.SMU (http://access.smu.edu) for your enrollment appointment time and any service indicators (holds) which need to be cleared prior to your enrollment.

  • Check Access.SMU for course availability at (http://access.smu.edu), by using Class Search. For a listing of courses in the General Education Curriculum, click here. For a copy of a Trial Schedule to assist you with schedule planning, click here.

  • All undergraduate students must meet with an academic adviser prior to enrolling for a term for assistance in planning majors and minors and scheduling courses that will count towards their graduation requirements. Failure to meet with the academic adviser prior to enrolling for a term may result in sanctions. After the initial required advising session for the term, students are encouraged to seek assistance from their academic adviser when considering adding and dropping courses. Students have the final responsibility for the accuracy of their enrollment, the applicability of their courses towards their degree requirements, and their academic performance.

  • All students are to provide the University Registrar a current home and mailing address, telephone number (cell number, if available), and emergency contact. Under Personal Information on Access.SMU, all students must provide accurate information as requested.

    After verifying this information in each of the requested areas, the student must check the appropriate box to indicate that the information has been updated and verified. At that time, a date will appear indicating that the information had been verified and/or updated.

    It is very important that all students go into Access.SMU (http://access.smu.edu) under Personal Information and check the accuracy of this information. If this information is not verified in a timely manner, a HOLD might be placed on student accounts for any future enrollment terms at SMU.

    University policy requires that all students have current home address (local), mailing address, and telephone information on file as well as a cell number, if available. Students may have other address types on file, including a residence address where you are currently living (street number, street name, city, state --- a P.O. Box is not valid for this address type).

    INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS are required to have a home, mailing, and residence address.

    To update parent addresses, please complete the update form - click here for the form.

  • Obtain Department/Instructor permission before attempting to enroll in a course that requires consent.

  • You must clear all service indicators (holds) prior to enrolling. Some financial holds may not be updated for 24 hours.

  • Decide on the Campus Essentials (parking, meal plan, yearbook, Pony Express, health center, arts package, sports package) you want to purchase as you enroll for your classes - click here for detailed information on Campus Essentials. To purchase Campus Essentials go to Access.SMU.

  • You may enroll from any web-based computer. For web registration instructions, click here.

  • Financial Aid - Please check your Access.SMU “To Do List” for outstanding Financial Aid Items. New Students will be sent notification via e-mail of their award availability in mid-November. All new students should accept their Financial Aid Awards on Access.SMU and complete all additional processing. If you have any concerns about the status of your aid, contact the Financial Aid Office at 214-768-3417 or enrol_serv@smu.edu.

    Clear your account. A bill notification will be sent to your SMU e-mail account, depending on when you enroll. Update your billing address and check your SMU campus e-mail on a regular basis. You may also view your account on-line through Access.SMU. Pay your invoice amount on or before payment due date. Payments may be made on-line by clicking here. For further information on payment due date, visit the Bursar website.

    If you have questions concerning your student account or payment, please contact Student Financials at 214-768-3417.
