Telecourses — How to Register

FIRST: Choose a site (a main campus or off-campus extension location) convenient for you. This site is where you will typically turn in assignments and take exams; it's also where assignments and exams are returned after they are graded (by arrangement, you may also pick up assignments and tests and take exams at sites other than where you are registered). The sites include: U of U main campus, Bountiful, Murray (Cedar Park), Sandy, and Park City.

SECOND: Find the class and section number and course or class code number for your Telecourse. If you are not sure which course to take or want to investigate a particular class, search the Telecourse page (class and section numbers and course or class code numbers will be found on the result page(s) of your search).

THIRD: Register for your course(s). If you are a matriculated or a degree-seeking student you can register via the Internet through "Secured Student Access" or through the Telephone Registration System. If you are not a matriculated student you can register over the phone by calling the University of Utah Registration Office at 801.581.5808.

FOURTH: Pick up a course manual. Course manuals contain all the directions you need to complete a course. They are available one week before classes begin at the Distance Education Telecourse office (2180 Annex, east wing), and at the Bountiful, Murray, Sandy, and Park City sites.

FIFTH: If you want to get a jump on your Telecourse, an Information Sheet for each course is available approximately one month before each semester begins. Information Sheets contain the instructor's phone and office numbers and email address, the course textbook(s), broadcast times and dates, course orientation meeting dates, and the first two weeks' viewing and reading assignments. They are available online on each course information page as downloadable .pdf files, in the hallway on a display next to the Distance Education Telecourse Office (2190 Annex, next door to the Distance Education Main office), and at the off-campus sites.
