Using Star Telephone Registration
This telephone registration system for academic and vocational students is designed for touch-tone telephones. The schedules on Spring 2000 Course Calendar tell you the earliest time you can register based on your classification and first letter of your last name. All semester credit courses have a four-digit number in front of them. This is the STAR Reference Number.

After each message on the system, you will generally have 15 seconds to respond. If no information is entered the message will be repeated and you will be given another 15 seconds. After the third request if no information is entered the system will automatically terminate your call.

Each time you add or delete a course, the system will hold the transaction on a temporary basis. In order for the transaction to become permanent, you must press [5] after you complete all your requests. If you hang up before you press [5], these changes will not be made to your schedule.

A worksheet is provided on the Telephone Registration. Please complete this worksheet so that when you access the system, you will have all necessary information already at hand. Keep in mind that it is very important to have alternate course choices for your courses since some may have been already cancelled or filled.

System Access
To use the STAR Telephone Registration system:

• Dial 982-5800 or 1-888-882-4026 and listen for the instructions
• Next, you will enter your Social Security number. If you do not have a Social Security number, contact the Enrollment Office at Tandy Hall #106, or call (956) 544-8254.
• Next, for security purposes, you will be required to enter your own four-digit Personal Identification Number (PIN). You will be required to enter your PIN whenever accessing the system.

You may now proceed with Telephone Registration. However, if there is a hold on your file (such as admissions documents, debts to the university, etc.) you will be instructed to contact the appropriate department.

You may also encounter blocks that prevent you from registering. See information below concerning blocks and holds.

Menu Description
Once you are instructed to proceed with registration you will have five action codes to choose from. These codes are:

• To sign up for classes, you must add them. To add a course, you press [1] and then you enter the four-digit course reference number. Repeat this sequence for each course added.
• To delete a course from your schedule, you must drop the course. To drop a course, press [2] and enter the four-digit course reference number. Repeat this sequence for each course dropped.
• If you would like to review a listing of all the courses on your schedule, press [3].
• To cancel any changes to your schedule during this telephone call, press [4].
• To conclude registration and get a tuition total press [5]. All special course fees will automatically be included in the total.

If you drive a vehicle and wish to park on campus, you will need to purchase a parking permit. Permits cost $20.00 per semester or $10 per summer session. You may purchase your parking permit at the Business Office and pick up the permit at the Library.
