Fall Registration Information
Every term, you will be issued a "Registration Time Ticket" by the SRC (Student Resource Center). You can check your Time Ticket in advance to see when your registration period will open. In addition, your Time Ticket information will also be posted on your DrexelOne account. You can view your Time Ticket online here: http://www.drexel.edu/src/time_tickets.asp.

Your graduate advisor will assist you in registering for classes. Please contact your advisor with any registration questions. Once you have received confirmation from your advisor that you are registered, you will want to verify that you see your registration active in your DrexelOne account.

Other Registration Tips
The iSchool offers courses quarterly, four terms per year (fall, winter, spring, summer).

In trying to decide what course to take this Fall, you can reference upcoming course offerings at this website: http://sacramento.drexel.edu/resources/course-schedule.aspx
This site is updated with course information as it becomes available.

Future Planning: If you are wondering what will be offered in future terms, you can also reference the Course Offerings section of the iSchool website.  This page will give you an idea of proposed iSchool courses for upcoming terms. (Note: The on campus notations on the Proposed Course offering site are for the Philadelphia campus.)

Selecting Courses
Students are welcome to take one or more courses per term. The information below are guidelines for you to tailor to your full or part time status.

MS Students


The following classes are running on campus in Sacramento in the Fall 2009 term:
INFO 520: Tuesday, 6 - 8 p.m.
INFO 515: Thursday, 6 - 8:50 p.m.

Your advisor will be in contact to discuss these or other online scheduling options.

MSIS Students
For those in the MSIS program, we recommend that students complete all of their Foundation courses before beginning their core classes, if possible. You will find that many of the Foundation courses are prerequisites to core courses. If you have fulfilled your Foundation Courses, many students find it helpful to begin their Core Courses.

The following classes are running on campus in Sacramento in the Fall 2009 term:
INFO 540: Thursday, 6 - 8:50 p.m.

Your advisor will be in contact to discuss these or other online scheduling options.

Course Sections – Online versus On Campus
When you are selecting courses, you will notice that classes all have two sets of numbers that distinguish them from other courses in the catalog. The first set of numbers identifies the course (for instance INFO 510). The second set of numbers distinguishes the course SECTION (for instance INFO 510-600 or INFO 510-900).

Courses with 600+ SECTION numbers are on-campus classes. On-campus classes are also listed with a meeting day, time, and room location.

Courses with 900+ SECTION numbers are online classes. Online classes are also listed with no meeting day, time or location. They are flexible with your schedule. They appear on the SRC website as ‘Online-DeL Blackboard’.

Example: INFO 510-600+ is an on-campus class and INFO 510-900+ is an online class.
