Preparing for Orientation

This site was designed specifically with transfer students in mind. Please take some time before your orientation date to familiarize yourself with the material on this site. Do not be alarmed as you navigate through BroncoDirect if your records do not reflect all your transfer coursework. Your Transfer Credit Report (TCR) includes course information for only transcripts that have been received and reviewed by Admissions & Outreach and processed by the Registrar’s Office. An updated TCR will be made available to you on your orientation day. Bring any questions you may have after viewing the information.

Checking Your To-Do List

Adding Classes

The process of adding classes in BroncoDirect is similar to online shopping. There are three steps to adding any class:

1. Select the class you want (either by entering the 5-digit course number or by going through a class search process)
2. Verify your selection
3. Confirm and submit

Class Waitlists

The Waitlist system allows you to line up for a seat in classes that are already full. In BroncoDirect, you will be able to see how many students are already on the waitlist for any class. By attempting to enroll in a class that is full, you will automatically be placed on the waitlist for that class. If a seat opens up and you are the next student on the waitlist, you will be automatically enrolled in the class (provided that you meet the indicated prerequisites and do not have any registration holds). If you do not get into the class, you may also check with your advisor to see what other open classes meet the same requirement.

Permission Numbers

Permission numbers can be used to allow enrollment either when a class is full (Instructor Approval Required) or when the indicated prerequisites
