University of Michigan - Flint

UM-Flint issues identification numbers called the UMID for all students. The UMID is an 8-digit identification number used by all UM campuses.  Students may use either their UMID or Social Security Number as their SIS User ID.

For new students your PIN is initially set to your six-digit birth date.   For example, a student born on January 1, 1980 would enter 010180 as their PIN.  Once you've entered the proper User ID and PIN you will be prompted to create a new PIN.  This PIN can be alpha-numeric and must be exactly 6 characters.  

Current students who have forgotten their PIN should be able to reset it to their six-digit birth date by accurately answering the security question they provided upon first entering SIS.  On the secure login screen, enter your User ID, and then click on "Forgot PIN?" button. If you have not yet supplied a security question, please contact the Academic Advising Office or e-mail bannerweb@list.umflint.edu for reactivation of a disabled PIN.

Registration dates and times (time-tickets) are assigned based on your total number of credit hours. This total includes all work completed and does NOT include coursework in progress. It is important that you register on your assigned date to maintain your priority. 

The Office of the Registrar will notify current students of upcoming registration dates via their UM-Flint student email account.  Time-ticket information is also available for student viewing on SIS the week prior to registration.  Students will need to log into the secure area, select "Student Services & Financial Aid" from the main menu, click on "Registration", and then on "View your Registration Status".

Students may register online using our Student Information System (SIS).  Click here for online registration instructions.

Adds/drops can be done on the SIS website during registration periods. Beginning the first official day of the semester, adds must be done on add forms with instructor’s signature and brought to the Office of the Registrar for processing. All forms MUST have instructor’s signatures. Drops can be done on SIS until the late add deadline. Please refer to the course schedule booklet or the master calendar for appropriate fees and deadlines.

Be sure to check the SIS website for holds that may prevent you from registering.

If you have a financial hold (tuition, penalties, bookstore, or library), please contact the Cashier’s Office to make payment. If the tuition balance is due to a financial aid award that has not yet been processed or applied to your account, please continue to work with the Financial Aid Office to complete your file. Do not delay.

If you have an advisor hold you MUST contact your advising department for an appointment before you will be allowed to register. (See Advising Appointments below)

Some academic departments require their students be advised before registering. Students who are advised in these departments will have an “advisor approval” hold on their file until the advisor releases it, after meeting with the student. We recommend that you first check your registration status online and then contact the appropriate academic department if you have an advisor hold.

Some courses require instructor’s consent (i.e. independent study, internships, etc) in advance of registering. Please contact the instructor or academic department to obtain an override or additional information.

CONSENT OF INSTRUCTOR: Some courses require instructor’s consent (i.e. independent study, internships, etc) in advance of registering. Please contact the instructor or academic department to obtain an override or additional information.

PREQ OR TEST SCORE ERROR:  You will see this error if you have not met the prerequisites for the course.  Please contact the instructor or academic department to obtain an override or additional information.

When adding a course that has reached its capacity, you will receive an error message stating the number of students currently on the waitlist.  You are not automatically added to the waitlist.  You have the option of adding your name to the waitlist roster.  In order to do so, select "waitlisted" from the action field and click "submit changes".  You will not be added to the waitlist if you fail to submit changes at this point.  Use the Look Up Waitlist Position feature in SIS to confirm your position on the waitlist.

Waitlist overrides must be obtained from the instructor or the academic department.

Students must be approved BEFORE they register to take more than 18 hours in the Fall or Winter or 9 hours in the Spring or Summer. SIS does not allow selection of more than the maximum credit hours without prior approval. (Waitlisted courses are not counted in the maximums.)  Approval must be granted from the appropriate Academic Standards or Academic Review Committee. Please see your Dean’s Office for the petition forms.

Books should be available in the Barnes & Noble Bookstore on the first floor of the University Pavilion 2-3 weeks prior to the beginning of the semester.  Students also have the option to 'Shop for Textbooks' while in SIS.

The Bookstore also has specific dates designated for sell-back.  Please contact the bookstore at 810-762-3030 for further details.

 

ITS will distribute student IDs (MCards) and parking permits from the first floor of the University Pavilion at the beginning of each semester.  Dates and times for upcoming semesters will be announced prior to the first week of classes.  Student parking permits can also be obtained throughout the year at the Mcard Stations located in the 206 MSB and 3174 WSW computer labs.

When available, the printed course schedule books may be picked up from the Office of the Registrar, Academic Advising Center or Student Development Office. 

It is strongly recommended that students use the Class Schedule available on SIS.  The information contained in the "Current Class Schedule" area is most accurate and up to date.  The schedule booklet, in comparison, is often outdated before it is printed.

Students will receive a monthly email with their tuition due date (E-Notification). The E-Notification will direct students to the SIS website. 
100% of your tuition must be received by the due date or late charges will be assessed. Allow a minimum of 5 days handling by the U.S. Postal Service if your payment is mailed. Failure to receive an official E-notification of student billing does not relieve any student of responsibility for payment by the published deadlines.

Students who do not enroll in the number of credits on which their financial aid awards were based must complete a Revision Request Form. Forms are available on SIS under Financial Aid, Printable Forms or in the Office of Financial Aid (OFA) Room 277, University Pavilion. Forms should be submitted immediately so that the OFA has time to review your awards for any possible changes. Failure to submit this form may delay payment of financial aid awards.
