PhD Program Student Registration
Registration Instructions for Current Students
The PhD Program Manager conducts academic advising to create and maintain an educational plan that helps students identify and register for social work courses. Advisement is recommended but not required for registration. The PhD Program Manager will enter your proposed plan of study in Baylor’s UAchieve system. Please contact Sarah Mosley if you need to discuss your plan or if your plan requires updating.

Holds
Check to see if you have any holds that will prevent you from registering. This information is available on BearWeb. Please refer to Baylor University's policy Right to Withhold Transcripts and/or Block Registration.
The department that has placed a hold on your account is the department you will need to contact in order to have the hold lifted.
Course Numbering System
The numbers applied to each course indicate level, semester hours of credit, and departmental codes. The first digit in the number indicates the level. The second digit in the number indicates the value in graduate credit hours. Thus, “3” as a second digit indicates three credit hours. The last two digits are reserved for departmental use.
Variable Hour Courses
Any course with a "V" in the title (for example, SWO 6V99) may be set up as a fixed-hour or variable hour course. If the course is not set up for a fixed number of credit hours, it will default to one hour in the registration system. You must then manually select the number of hours for which you intend to register. Visit this website and follow the instructions to change your hours.
Please note: While the Garland School of Social Work provides resources to support and advise students throughout their degree program, it is ultimately the responsibility of the student to ensure they are registered for the appropriate courses and sections in order to progress through their degree program at their preferred pace.
