Register for Classes
Contact your admitting department for details on how to get advised. Your Graduate Coordinator's (program advisor's) name can be found on the lower right hand corner of your Webstar student center landing page. In the event that the above doesn't work, email graduateadm@uno.edu.
Go to the Graduate School's registration page to learn more about signing up for classes and how to search the University Catalog. You'll also find a step-by-step guide to WebSTAR, the online portal you'll use to register each semester. Please note: Only 5000-level and above courses count toward your graduate degree. Also, nine hours is considered full time in fall and spring.
