Registration Instructions for First-year Freshman with Advanced-Standing

Due to advanced placement and transfer credits, the TritonLink Registration System considers some first-year freshmen to be sophomores (or even juniors) and will not allow you to enroll in a Freshman Seminar when you first enter the registration system.  If you are a Freshman with advanced-standing, please follow the quick steps below in order to register for a Freshman Seminar. 

Please note that these steps may be completed in advance before your registration period even begins.  These seminars fill very quickly and completing these steps in advance will assist you in obtaining a seat in the seminar of your choice.


  • Contact the department/program/unit offering the seminar either by calling or emailing their undergraduate advising office or visiting the office in person.
  • Provide the office with:
    1. Your full legal name
    2. Your student ID number
    3. The Title of the seminar you want to take
    4. The Section ID number of the seminar
  • Be sure to explain that you are a first-year student with sophomore standing. The department/program/unit can clear you to register in the seminar.  If the seminar is full, you will be able to register on the waitlist.
  • Once the department/program/unit has cleared you for seminar enrollment, you will need to go back into TritonLink to actually register for the seminar.

We are sorry that you will need to take these extra steps to register for a Freshman Seminar. The registration system is complex and sometimes requires a little extra help to work in special circumstances.
