Alternate Pin Numbers You must obtain your Alternate Pin from your advisor in order to register on the web. The Alternate Pin purposely changes each semester to ensure that you meet with your academic advisor at least once a semester. At times, your faculty advisor might be unavailable to meet with you. If this occurs, the Deans, Associate Deans, the Department Chairs and all Faculty Advisors are able to assist you with your class scheduling. FAST FACTS All students who have been accepted into teacher certification programs have assigned faculty advisors in these areas as well as their academic major advisors. Both advisors will receive their advisees' Alternate Pin, i.e., the same Alternate Pin will be issued to both advisors. This will enable those students who are taking primarily education courses (usually student teachers and practicum package students) to obtain their Alternate Pin from the advisor with whom they have the closest connection. Students must obtain the permission of the department chair or program coordinator to enter a closed course, or to enroll in a course for which they do not have the pre-requisites? Only a department chair is authorized to issue such permission, and it is to be used only for exceptional circumstances. Transfer students frequently have questions about credit and course equivalencies on their transfer credit evaluations. It's sometimes best in these cases to go directly to the source - the transfer credit evaluator. There are two evaluators; one for students with last names A-L and one for M-Z. Call ex. 3606 for AL students and ex. 3608 for M-Z students. The Evaluations Unit is part of the University's Undergraduate Admissions Office.
