FAQ
Reader questions
How do I reset my password if the portal login fails?
Use the password reset link on the login page, verify your identity with your registered email or security questions, and follow the prompts to create a new password that meets university requirements.
What should I do if my tuition payment is declined but the portal shows a hold?
Contact the bursar's office with your payment confirmation number, and ask them to release the hold once the transaction clears; temporary holds can remain until the payment gateway updates status.
Can I switch from self-service to advisor-assisted registration after the deadline?
Request a registration override through the advisor portal, explain the extenuating circumstances, and submit before the priority override window closes to avoid late penalties.
How do I enroll in courses if my program has multiple campuses?
Verify your campus location in the profile section, filter available courses by campus, and confirm location-specific requirements such as onsite exams or lab sessions before finalizing your schedule.
