How can I tell if a course 16 weeks, 8 weeks, or some other length? How can I tell if a course in on-ground or online?

APSU has a lot of different terms and offers class through the Main Campus and Fort Campbell.

For sections of classes offered at the Main Campus

• If a section number begins with a number, the section is an on-ground section.  Examples: 01 or 13
• If a section number begins with a W, the section is an online section. Examples: W1 or W13
• If a section number begin with a M, the section is offered in the summer during Maymester and is a 3-week class. Example: M1.
• If a section number ends with a number, for example 01 or W12, then
  • In the Spring and Fall, the section is a 16-week section
  • In the Summer, the section may be a 5-week or 10-week section.  Check the exact dates of the section in Banner.
• If a section number ends with an A in Spring or Fall, the course is an 8-week class that meets the first 8 weeks of the semester.  Examples: 05A or W2A
• If a section number ends with an B in Spring or Fall, the course is an 8-week class that meets the second 8 weeks of the semester. Examples: 13B or W1B

For sections of classes offered at the Fort Campbell

• If a section number begins with a W, the section is an online section. Examples: W1 or W13
• If a section number begins with a number, the section is an on-ground section.  Examples: 01 or 13

What are enhanced sections? Do I need to sign up for an enhanced section?

According to the University Academic Regulations in the Undergraduate Bulletin "Students whose ACT, SAT, or placement assessment mathematics, reading, or English scores do not meet the requirements of the Board of Trustees for university-level courses must enroll in an enhanced section of the appropriate core course."

Enhanced sections can be identified by their section numbers which end in an E.  For example, 01E or W2E.  The section titles are also labeled "Enhanced."

• If a student is required to take an enhanced section of a course, the registration system will not let the student register for a non-enhanced section.
• If a student is not required to take an enhanced section of a course, the registration system will not let the student register for a enhanced section.

A student's OneStop Advising page list any requirements that require an enhanced class.

I was able to register for a class on the Main Campus. Why can't I register for a class at Ft Campbell? 

There are two possible reasons for this issue. 

The first possible reason is that the student's advisor did not click the required boxes in OneStop that allow the student to register for a term at Ft Campbell.  In this case, the student should contact their advisor and ask them to enable it so that they can register for the term.

A second reason that students may have problems registering is that the process is a little different for those terms. In Fall I, Fall II, Spring I, Spring II, and Summer IIII, the registration process opens earlier for uniformed military personnel.  After one or more weeks, registration opens for all students.  Usually, when a student encounters a problem registering, they are a non-military student trying to register for a class during the period reserved for uniformed military personnel.  The Registrar's Academic Calendar shows when registration opens for different student categories.
