Registration Module

Colleague Registration

The Colleague Registration module is currently available for institutions that use either WebAdvisor or Colleague Student Planning 2.3 or later.

• WebAdvisor Registration for Ellucian Mobile allows you to select and save items into preferred sections in WebAdvisor.
• Student Planning for Ellucian Mobile allows you to save items in your cart that will then also be saved in Student Planning.

The Colleague Registration module in Ellucian Mobile is primarily intended to support, but not replace, WebAdvisor and Student Planning. Students should work with their advisors to pre-plan their schedules and get any necessary approvals. Then, when the registration window opens, students can open the Registration module in Ellucian Mobile and quickly register for the courses in their plan.

The Registration module also offers a search feature that enables students to respond promptly if, for example, a course section that was on their plan is already full and they need to find a different course section. Students can also use the search feature to add other courses that were not on their plan.

Student Planning institutions: Although Student Planning is mobile-accessible, we do not recommend using a Web app module to connect to Student Planning for the following reasons:

• Single sign on between Ellucian Mobile and Student Planning is not available because the two systems use different protocols.
• The navigation structure that Student Planning uses does not fit well with the navigation structure of Ellucian Mobile.

Banner Registration

The Banner Registration module in Ellucian Mobile allows students to search for course sections that are open for registration and add them to their cart, regardless of term. When the registration window opens, the student can select one or more courses from a saved list of course sections and register for them. If a registration PIN is required, they will be prompted to enter it during the registration process.

The Registration module requires the Banner Student API. For the required version and other API requirements, see Banner Student API. For additional requirements for the version of Banner Student, see Banner Student API and Banner Student requirements.

PowerCampus Registration

The PowerCampus Registration module in Ellucian Mobile allows students to search for course sections that are open for registration and add them to their cart, regardless of term. When the registration window opens, the student can select one or more courses from a saved list of course sections and register for them.

The Registration module requires a minimum version of PowerCampus, and requires the PowerCampus WebAPI. For details, see PowerCampus software.

Users’ view of registration

Ellucian Mobile provides a cart that allows the student to add course sections they may want to register for.

For Banner institutions, students will add items to the cart based on the results of course searches that they perform in the search tab. Note that the cart content is stored on the Mobile server for Banner clients.

For Colleague institutions, if students have a course plan in Student Planning or preferred sections in WebAdvisor, Ellucian Mobile automatically places any unregistered course sections from that plan into the cart so the student can immediately register for those course sections.

For Banner and Colleague institutions, if students decide that there are some course sections in their cart that they do not want to register for, they can search for alternate course sections and add those to their carts instead. For Colleague institutions, those courses added to the cart will automatically be added to the student’s plan in Student Planning or preferred sections in WebAdvisor. If the student chooses to remove courses from the cart, the courses will be automatically removed from Student Planning and WebAdvisor.

Similarly, if students attempt to register for the course sections in their cart but are unable to do so (for example, because the section is full), they can search for other courses or other sections of the same course.
