Summer 2013 Registration Timeline & Overview

RaPS (Registration and Payment System) Features:

• Registration and payment all inclusive (no need to enroll in SISWEB), all adds/drops/course changes processed in RaPS (and forwarded to SISWEB)
• Cross registration is included with your home campus course registration and processed automatically after initial registration closes
• In Manage Schedule, previously taken courses do not appear for selection eliminating the need to scroll through redundant course offerings

(If you do not plan to enroll this quarter, you must file the Non-Registration form by this deadline.)

All summer classes, regardless of start date, must be added or dropped by this deadline to avoid the registration penalty fee.

Registration Process

There are multiple steps to the registration process.

Registration in RaPS transmits to the campus system on an hourly basis during these times:

Monday – Friday 6:00a.m. to 12 midnight

Saturday – Sunday 10:00a.m. to 6:00p.m.

Any registration and payment submitted outside of these times are date/time stamped and submitted as soon as the campus system re-opens. Students are enrolled in courses based on the date/time stamp of their registration for the quarter. Approximately 24 hours after registration, students receive an automated enrollment confirmation email. If a confirmation email is not received, return to RaPS, Manage Schedule and check your status there. Do not verify enrollment in SmartSite.

As a reminder, ALL GSM registration activity (adding and/or dropping) must be done in RaPS, NOT SISWEB. By entering registration changes directly into SISWEB, students will automatically activate a registration freeze on their accounts. Be advised that it may take in excess of 72 hours to resolve the conflict in both systems.

1. Manage Schedule

In RaPS, log in (UCD LoginID and Kerberos passphrase) and build your schedule in Manage Schedule by selecting courses you plan to take for the quarter. For information on using RaPS, please read the Course Schedule Overview & Instructions.

Proceed to Pay for Courses (see next step).

2. Pay for Courses- All fees must be paid prior to enrolling in courses

By Credit Card
By “Temporary” Financial Aid (not available summer quarter)
By Employer Letter of Credit (LOC)
By Check or Money Order

REGISTRATION PENALTY FEE

You will incur a $250 registration penalty fee, if
– you have not met both the initial payment and registration deadlines.
– you file the non-registration form after the registration deadline for the quarter.
– you have not met the posted candidacy form deadline for graduation.

Any registration request made after the final course change deadline is an exception, regardless of when the first course meeting is.  If the exception is approved, you incur a $250 registration penalty fee.

STUDENTS STILL NEED SISWEB FOR THE FOLLOWING:

• Reviewing your UC Davis account
• Graduate Financial Aid packaging and awards
• Confirming your quarterly course enrollments
