Enrollment Steps

ALL CONTINUING UNDERGRADUATE STUDENTS, DEDMAN GRADUATE, MEADOWS GRADUATE, COX GRADUATE (EXCEPT EMBA), PERKINS THEOLOGY,  DEDMAN LAW AND LYLE ENGINEERING GRADUATE (EXCEPT MILITARY AND NTU) STUDENTS

  • Check Access SMU 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 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 as well as a cell phone 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 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 phone 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, health center, pony express), you want to purchase as you enroll for your classes - click here for detailed information on Campus Essentials. To purchase an Campus Essentials go to Access.SMU.
