Summary of Registration Procedures
Registration is completed through the WEB Registration System (WRS) via AppalNET. WRS is part of the WEB technologies now available for remote access to student information.
How do I access the WRS system?
WRS access to AppalNET is granted by using your Computer Username and Password. (For the mechanics of how to register, see the WRS worksheet in the Schedule of Classes.)
Who is allowed to register?
All students enrolled during the previous semester and classified as degree-seeking will be given access to WRS. This includes graduate students, undergraduate students, and "special students" officially recognized as seeking teacher certification.
Students not enrolled during the previous term must be formally re-admitted to the University before having access to WRS. To be re-admitted, undergraduates must contact the dean's office of the college to which they were assigned when last enrolled; graduate students and special students seeking teacher certification must contact the Registrar's Office.
When can I register?
Students enrolled during the previous semester will be invited register during Early Registration. Students will be notified of their registration appointment through AppalNET. From the Student Services menu in AppalNET, students may select the Registration Status page.
Please note that WRS is programmed to deny access to a student until the time and date specified on the Registration Status page. Once access is given, however, it will continue through early registration and the schedule adjustment periods specified in the "Academic Calendar."
At what time during the day is WRS available?
During the period when a student has access to the system, the Web Registration System (WRS) is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week from any personal computer with an internet connection.
How do I register for a class that requires special permission?
For registration that requires instructor and/or departmental permission, the student must contact the appropriate academic department. If permission is given, the academic department will code the permission on-line, allowing the student to then register by WRS.
When will I be billed? When do I pay?
If you register during the early registration period, a billing statement will be mailed to your PERMANENT address. Courses added during the schedule adjustment period are considered early registered, and a separate bill will be sent to the permanent mailing address for additional tuition and fees. The same payment deadline applies. Account information is accessible through WRS.
Payments can be mailed to Appalachian State University, Student Accounts Office, John E. Thomas Hall, ASU Box 32005, Boone, NC 28608-2005.
NOTE: IF EARLY REGISTERED, TUITION AND FEES FOR THE SEMESTER MUST BE PAID BY THE DEADLINE. FAILURE TO PAY BY NOTED DEADLINE WILL RESULT IN CANCELLATION OF YOUR CLASS SCHEDULE. PLEASE UNDERSTAND THAT YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE PAYMENT OF TUITION AND FEES REGARDLESS OF WHETHER A BILLING STATEMENT IS RECEIVED.
Final Grades
Final grades are available through WRS.
What if I have difficulty using WRS?
The Registrar's Office is open Monday through Friday 8:00 AM - 5:00 PM. If you experience difficulty in registering call (828) 262-3135.
