Registering for Classes
Register for classes at Saint Louis University using Banner Self Service - Student.
During the weeks of registration time-ticketing, students will be able to register based on their earned credits, which are ranked from highest to lowest. Earned credits are the total number of successfully completed credits, including transfer credits; in-progress courses are not included.
Each student will get a time ticket that shows the earliest date and time they can start registering for classes. The Office of the University Registrar will announce and add time ticket information to Banner Self-Service for students to view:
- Go to My Apps Dashboard and click on the Banner Self Service - Student icon.
- Under General Links, click on My Student Profile.
- Important: At the top left, select the term you are registering for.
- Once you select it, go to the top right, and click on Registration Notices.
- Your time-ticket will appear at the bottom of the list.
Please note the time is displayed in St. Louis' U.S. Central time. The schedule with Madrid times is available on the registrar's site.
Banner provides access for students to:
- Check billing information.
- Add or drop courses.
- Verify financial aid information.
- View student records and transcripts.
Non-SLU Visiting Students
First, meet with your home-campus advisor. You are responsible for ensuring the courses you register for will fulfill your requirements and transfer to your institution. During the authentication process, if you are asked for a PIN the first time you go to My Apps Dashboard, enter your date of birth in the mm/dd/yyyy format. Also, if you entered a cell phone during authentication, make sure you have it with you to receive security codes.

Meet with your advisor before registration. An advisor-meeting hold may be placed on your account, which your advisor will release when you meet. You will not be able to register until your advisor releases this hold.
