  1. Priority 1 Group NEW Definition and Expectations: Priority 1 Registration groups will register on the first day of registration week for each approved term.  Priority is defined in two ways:
    1. Federally mandated groups that require priority registration by law and cannot limit the number of students participating in their program. These groups also are required to submit documentation to confirm their eligibility.
    2. Campus priority groups are determined by the SEMC based on the groups’ need for specific student schedules, how they support the university-wide mission, and if they are able to limit the number of participating students.
      Note: All priority groups must continue to update students within their designated groups each term by the deadline designed by the Office of the University Registrar, even if there is no headcount limit.
  2. Priority 2 Group NEW Definition and Expectations:
    1. Priority 2 Registration groups are determined by the SEMC.  These groups may be defined as campus groups that do not require special schedules in order for students to participate in campus activities or programs and can limit the number of participating students.  Participating campus groups and student headcount limitations will be determined by the SEMC during the application review process. 
      Note: All early groups are required to update students within their designated groups and headcount limits each term by the deadline designed by the Office of the University Registrar.
