We Build Your Course Plan & Enroll You
Overview
After you submit the New Bobcat Enrollment Profile, our team jumps in. We verify your credits, consult with TSI or Honors if needed, and then create your recommended course plan. Finally, we enroll you in those classes so you don’t have to navigate course registration alone.
Our goal is to have your course schedule finalized by the time you attend New Student Orientation (NSO)—or sooner!
What Happens Next
- Profile Review: We double-check the details you provided—major choice, credits, and any TSI/Honors/LLC requirements. If we need more information, we’ll email you.
- Prompt Responses = Fewer Delays: Whenever we request additional info, please reply as soon as possible to keep this process moving. Delays in communication could mean a longer wait for your schedule.
- Course Plan & Enrollment: We build a course recommendation plan outlining your ideal first-semester schedule and any additional classes required for graduation. We then enroll you in these courses—this is the only time we enroll you in classes.
Helpful Advice
- Check Your Portal: We’ll post any updates, requests for info, or status changes. Keep an eye on it to ensure you don’t miss anything.
- Respond Quickly: If we ask for missing scores, transcripts, or additional details, getting back to us quickly helps lock in your schedule sooner—ideally before your NSO date.
- One-Time Enrollment: We’re here to streamline your initial registration. After this, you’ll manage any further course changes, but we’ll still be available for support.
- Stay Engaged: If you have concerns about your major or credits after being enrolled, let us know. We’ll do our best to guide you while you settle into your first semester.
Common Questions
-
How long does it take to hear back once I submit my profile?
We usually begin reviewing your details as soon as possible. If you’ve given us complete information, you should hear about your schedule before your NSO date—or often earlier.
-
What if you need more information from me?
We’ll message you through your email on file, and you'll see an update on your TXST Undergraduate Admissions Portal. If we don’t hear back soon, we can’t move forward with your enrollment, so respond quickly to avoid delays.
-
Can I pick my own classes or times?
During NBE, we place you in courses based on your major and earned credits to ensure you get what you need. Once officially enrolled, you can make some adjustments if desired (see Step 4), especially if you need certain times or sections.
-
Is this the only time I get enrolled for classes by TXST?
Yes. For future semesters, you’ll register yourself online, but you can still get help from advisors. NBE is mainly to make your first semester smooth.
