Registration for Current and Continuing Students

What does course registration look like at Biola?

Each semester you are required to meet with your assigned faculty or staff advisor. If you are a first year student, you can find your advisor on the Meet Your Advisor page. When you meet with your faculty or staff advisor, you’ll plan for classes and discuss your major and degree requirements.

Academic PINs are required to access course registration on My Account and once you meet with your advisor, they will provide you with your unique 6-digit PIN (e.g., 133456). When your time ticket (your course registration time) begins, you will enter your PIN and get access to register for your next semester courses.

   Note: If you do not see an advisor listed on your Degree Audit page, please contact your department for information concerning your academic advisor. For department contact information, look up your department in the Directory.

2. Meet With Your Advisor (tip: come prepared)
   Your advisor will meet with you for a one-on-one or a group advising meeting. Your academic department or advisor should email you with how and when advising is happening. If you feel you have missed this communication, please reach out to your department. Some departments also have Peer Academic Advisors available for supplemental advising.
   
   Academic PINs are required to access course registration. Your advisor will provide you with a unique 5-digit PIN (e.g., 13345) after you complete your advising meeting.
