GENERAL REGISTRATION INFORMATION:

1. A student's login information includes their Directory ID and the Directory Password they set. PLEASE REMEMBER THE LOGIN AND PASSWORD. Students will always use this Directory ID and Directory Password as their login to register for classes via Testudo(link is external), and to enter Canvas, and SmithApps. 

2. Courses are also posted on Testudo(link is external). To access them, click on Schedule of Classes and then BUSI. Courses are listed numerically and by section. Professor and book information for each course may be found on this website. Please click on the Bookstore icon to view the book information for the course. All Core classes are in the 600 level and all Electives are in the 700 level.

Sections: 
BA (ex. BA01) = Baltimore 
DC (ex. DC01, DC06) = Washington, D.C. 
GS (ex. GS01) = Shady Grove
Sections with numbers only (ex. 0101, 0201) = College Park

3. If a student is eligible to waive credits or is attempting to transfer credits into the program, they may make adjustments to their schedule through Testudo once their campus advisor has granted approval. Students should register for their track and adjustments can be made at a later date. Students should not wait for waiver or transfer credit approval to register for their track. 

4. Please click on the Financial Information link for information about tuition, fees, and payment deadlines.

5. Please note that if at any time during the core phase a student is unable to take a core course, they must contact their campus advisor to find an alternate solution. All core courses are required for graduation and the campus advisor will instruct students on how to register for the missed course(s) as an 'off-track' student. Many of the core courses serve as prerequisites for electives, so students will need to complete the missed course(s) as soon as possible. Once students begin their elective phase of the program, there is flexibility to take fewer classes if necessary, but they must complete the program in five years from their entry date.

6. Textbook information can be found on the Course Materials and Resources page on Networth. Please note that ordering books online is the recommended and most efficient method.


The best time to order books and course packets is two weeks before classes begin. Students will need to know their course and section numbers before ordering textbooks.
