Jones School Registrar

Spring Registration

Registration Week is now over, but you can keep making changes until the add/drop deadline for the appropriate term (or before for the first class meeting for ILE or short courses). (NOTE: If you were not registered for at least one course before 5pm on Friday 11/16, you may find a late registration fee on your student account in the coming weeks.)

Here are a couple of the frequently asked questions we get, as well as critical reminders:
  • When I try to register, ESTHER says the course is closed. This means the course either requires an application (see next bullet) or that the course is full. If the latter, please email jgsbregistrar@rice.edu with your Student ID Number, the course number and section, and the CRN, and we’ll add you to the waitlist.
  • Where can I find the link to apply for a course? The Tableau course list has a tab called Application-Based Courses, which has the course details, as well as the application link--click on the text link, and the clickable link will appear! Some applications are already closing, and others close between today and December 12.
  • Program Priority is in effect until December 7 and will be sorted out no later than December 14. Please see the Registration & Program FAQs in your program’s section of the Jones School Registrar and Advising CampusGroups website for more details. 
As a reminder, all of the logistics information you need can be found on the Jones School Registrar and Advising CampusGroups site–just navigate to your program, then the Registration & Program FAQs section. You can also track your graduation progress by looking at your DegreeWorks account, or schedule an Advising Appointment to discuss any concerns you have as you move into your final semester. Let us know if you have any questions: jgsbregistrar@rice.edu.  

 

First Year Students - Updated 2yr Calendar

An updated 2yr calendar has been posted to CampusGroups, as of 11/8. The Global Field Experience preparation dates (included on the core tab of the Spring 2019 Course List) are now included on the calendar view.

 

Tutors

Exams are right around the corner!  Don't forget to schedule a session with a tutor early through the online link if you want extra help studying.
