This will then register you for the classes you selected. (Note: You should check your Student Profile to make sure all classes you registered for are showing. Not every class can be registered for online. Some classes require Instructor Approval and/or pre-requisite requirements. Please contact the Help Desk for more information.)

You can print a copy of your unofficial transcripts through your T-BirdWeb Portal. Simply login, go to your Student Self-Service Banner 9, click on Student Profile, and then select Academic Transcript.

You can also request official and unofficial transcripts through National Student Clearinghouse. No paper requests are accepted, and any phone calls requesting transcripts will be directed to the online ordering website.

If you haven't already taken a placement test (ACT, SAT, or Accuplacer), potential 火博体育官网 students are allowed to take the Accuplacer at the 火博体育官网 Testing Center, free of charge for the first attempt. After the first free attempt, re-takes are $5 per section, and to retake the entire assessment, $15.

Accuplacer assesses math, English, and reading competencies. The test is required for students who have not previously taken a placement test and who have not taken their first college level math and English courses.

The testing center will proctor Accuplacer Monday through Friday 8AM-5PM. Visit their website to set up your testing appointment. Picture ID's (drivers license, school ID with picture, etc.) are required to test.

We also offer online proctoring. Fill out the voucher available on our Online Proctoring page. You will then receive information from College Board with your next steps. This option is not related to 火博体育官网. We do not take payment or set up your appointment.

If you were dropped from one or all of your classes (without you personally initiating the drop), there are two possibilities of why this happened.

Your course could have gotten cancelled. If this were the reason why, you would've received an email notification via your 火博体育官网 email.

Secondly, it is likely that the 48 hour window of payment opportunity passed. After 48 hours from registration, if payment is not made (either paid in full, payment plan set up, or financial aid finalized and in place), the registration system will automatically purge you from the course(s).

You can re-enroll for your courses. You can do so online, or you can contact the Help Desk. Once you have registered again, you can pay in full at the cashier's window in Ben Alexander. Or you can go to Nelnet, available through your T-BirdWeb Portal, to set up your payment plan.
