Frequently Asked Questions - Registration Issues

3. How do I register for my courses?

Course selection and registration is done via the internet on the Student Administrative Systems (SAS) website. Students may complete this process from any device, on or off campus, and may consult the Online Registration Guidelines for steps on how to register. The guidelines can be found on our Resources page or downloaded from the SAS login page which can be accessed here

How do I drop a course from my registration?

During the normal registration period the dropping of courses is without penalty and can be done as follows:
 
Log in to SAS.

  • Click on ‘Student Services’.
  • Click on ‘Registration’.
  • Click on the 'Add/Drop Classes' link.
  • Select the appropriate academic term (choose from the drop down menu) and click 'Submit'.
  • Select 'Web Drop' in the Action column next to the course to be dropped.
  • Click 'Submit Changes'.

The steps above were excerpted from the Online Registration Guidelines document which can be downloaded from the SAS login page.
 
During the late registration period students can continue to drop courses from their registration with penalty up to the deadline for the dropping of courses, which is usually at the start of the mid-semester examination period. Students have to accept the charges of the late registration penalty in order to drop courses from their registration and can access late registration as follows:
 
Log in to SAS.

  • Click 'Late Adjustment to Registration with Penalty' (below the 'Add/Drop Classes' link).
  • Expect a pop-up that will provide instructions and be guided accordingly.

 
After the deadline to drop courses has passed students can only make requests to drop courses for consideration via the Automated Student Request System (ASRS) which can be accessed after logging in to SAS under Student Services. 

I have a balance on my account creating a financial hold, but I need to register for my courses or sit examinations. Where can I go for assistance?

Contact Student Administrative Services Section (SASS) to clarify your balance as well as your options to work out payment. Additionally, The Office of Student Financing (OSF) may have options available that could provide some financial assistance. You may visit the OSF website for information as well as their office for consultation.
 
Once it involves any adjustments to your academic record to resolve the issue our office can advise on the best option based on your situation. However, if academic advising is needed to guide you in resolving the issue contact your Department or Faculty Office. 
 
 

I am unable to register because of a “registration time ticket error”. How do I rectify this?

Students may receive this error for three (3) main reasons: 

  1. No registration in the previous semester.
  2. Being required to withdraw (RTW) at the end of the previous semester due to the term GPA falling below 2.0 for two consecutive semesters.
  3. Normal registration period has ended and an attempt is made to register without accepting the charges for the Late Registration Penalty.

To identify the reason and resolve the error, contact Registry Information Systems (RIS) for assistance at ris@uwimona.edu.jm or by telephone at (876)970-4472 or (876)935-8856.

Is there a deadline by which I should register?

Yes. The Office of the Campus Registrar sends out a correspondence before the start of each academic year indicating all registration deadlines. This is normally communicated to students via Mona Messaging as well as sent to the main email address on your student record. The normal registration period usually begins July 1 for both semesters and goes up to the end of the second week of September for Semester 1 and the last week of January for Semester 2. After the normal registration period has ended, then the late registration period begins where students can still register but with penalty.
