How Registration PINS are Assigned

  • PINs/appointments are generated randomly within the database.
  • They are based on your level or school (for example, Graduate, Law, Pharmacy/Health Professions, Undergraduate).
  • Undergraduate PINS are based on either Classification or Cohort.
    • Junior and Senior PINs are based on classification/completed credits*-see above right for details.
    • NOTE: In-progress credits are NOT considered "completed" and therefore are NOT factored into PIN assignments.
    • Freshman and Sophomore PINs are randomized with the group they matriculated with as Freshmen. Their PINs are NOT based on completed credits. 
  • Fall PINs also work for Summer registration.
  • Spring PINs also work for Winter registration.
  • Your PIN remains active from your registration appointment time through the end of the Add/Drop period for the term you are registering for.
  • The Registrar's Office will not reassign PINs.
