New Student Registration
Fall 2024

 
 

You're registered for your Gustavus classes!

What an exciting time! Fall class schedules have been created for all students who submitted their Registration Preference form prior to June 14.*

*Students who complete the Registration Preference form after June 14 will receive their class schedule via email within 5 business days of submitting the form, beginning July 1. Check your Gustavus email at that time for instructions on how to access and review your class schedule.

Reviewing Your Schedule:

Most students received and reviewed their class schedule at our Gustie Gear-Up! event in June.

Students who didn't attend Gustie Gear-Up! received an email on June 26 with instructions on how to access and review their class schedule. That email also included information about an optional opportunity in July to virtually review and adjust their schedule with a Gustavus advisor.

All students, whether they attended Gustie Gear-Up! or not, can review their schedule on the Student Planning menu of MyGustavus. Be sure to watch the 'Understanding Your Gustavus Class Schedule' video for helpful tips on how to review your schedule.

Schedule Adjustments:

While a vast majority of incoming students will not need to make adjustments to their schedule, there are times when it is appropriate to make a change.

After the July 4th holiday, a link to our appointment calendar will be included here. Those appointments will take place online using Google Meet between July 23 and August 15. After August 15, a student can wait to make an adjustment until they meet with their advisor during New Student Orientation.

JUST GETTING STARTED?

Did you recently decide to become a Gustie? Congratulations! The information below will help you submit your class registration preferences online so that we can create your fall class schedule.

HERE ARE YOUR FIRST STEPS

1) Create and activate your Gustavus User Account:
Your first step is to create and activate your Gustavus User Account. You were sent an email the day after you paid your enrollment deposit that included account creation and activation instructions.

Please consult this page and/or contact the Technology Helpline (507-933-6111 or helpline@gustavus.edu) if you need help or have questions about creating or activating your account.

2) Enrollment Checklist:
After you activate your Gustavus User Account, go to your Gustavus Enrollment Checklist. You will use the online checklist to request housing, submit your registration preferences, and keep track of other important details prior to arriving at Gustavus.

3) Gustavus ID#:
You can find your Gustavus ID# in your Gustavus admission offer and/or financial aid information. This is an important number for you to memorize!

WELCOME & REGISTRATION PACKET:

Our Admission Office will mail you a Welcome & Registration Packet shortly after you pay your enrollment deposit. The packet contains helpful information that highlights important upcoming dates and deadlines.

The packet also includes instructions on how to submit the online Registration Preference form, take placement exams, and submit AP and/or IB scores and PSEO/CIS transcripts. More detailed information can be found on your Gustavus Enrollment Checklist.

The Welcome & Registration Packet includes:

SUBMITTING REGISTRATION PREFERENCES:

Please go to your Gustavus Enrollment Checklist and complete your Registration Preference form as soon as possible. The information that you provide on your Registration Preference form will be used by a Gustavus advisor to create your fall class schedule.

PLACEMENT EXAMS:

Many incoming Gustavus students need to take at least one placement exam prior to class registration. Check the Should I Take a Placement Exam? page to help you decide which exam(s) to take. More detailed information can be found on your Gustavus Enrollment Checklist.

AP, IB, CIS, PSEO & OTHER COLLEGE CREDIT:

Have you earned any college credit prior to coming to Gustavus? If so, be sure to request that your official college transcript(s) and/or AP or IB test scores are sent directly to Gustavus from the institution(s) that granted the credit. It is not enough to have these classes listed on your high school transcript. You must request for the official college transcript(s) and/or test scores to be sent directly to Gustavus.

Have transcripts sent to:

admission@gustavus.edu

or

Gustavus Admission Office
800 W. College Ave
Saint Peter, MN, 56082

If your college courses are still in progress, you can wait until they are complete (and grades have been reported) before sending transcripts. Sending transcripts and scores as soon as possible upon completion will help us identify if/how your credits will transfer to Gustavus. Thank you!

RECEIVING YOUR CLASS SCHEDULE:

If you submit your Registration Preference form after June 14, your class schedule will be made available to you within 5 business days, beginning July 1. We will send an email to your Gustavus email with instructions on how to access and review your class schedule. (See the top of this page for more information.)

NEW STUDENT ORIENTATION:

Your next step will be to move in and attend New Student Orientation this fall. Please contact the Campus Activities Office with any questions.
