The Office of the Registrar, located in Ellington 316, is the central administrative office responsible for the registration process, maintaining permanent academic records, and performing degree audits.
After meeting with their academic advisor, APSU students are eligible to register. The registration process includes three phases. The dates for each phase are stated in the official academic calendar on the APSU website at apsu.edu/registrar.
Priority registration—open to currently enrolled students.
Open registration—open to new students and readmitted students.
Late Registration— open to students eligible to enroll as fully admitted student for a given semester after open registration ends.
Information on the registration process can be found in the Registration Information Archive: https://www.apsu.edu/registrar/register/index.php
Registration Holds
Holds may be placed on a student’s registration in order to satisfy an obligation owed to the University. Holds are communicated to the student via AP OneStop and APSU email. The most frequent holds are for debts owed the University, such as an unpaid parking ticket or library fine.

Prerequisites and Corequisites
A number of APSU courses require the completion of prerequisites by students who wish to enroll in the courses. Therefore, students should attempt to schedule courses that serve as prerequisites for advanced study early in their academic career. Courses numbered 1000-2999 are designed to serve as preparation for upper division requirements. Students may not enroll in any course for which they have not completed the prerequisite satisfactorily or in which they are not enrolled during the priority registration period. Corequisite courses must be taken concurrently and will be listed as such in course descriptions.
Co-Requisite Courses with Required Supplemental Labs
Austin Peay State University (APSU) ensures academic success for students by providing targeted support for courses with significant reading, writing, and mathematics content. Co-requisite labs and courses, designed collaboratively by academic departments and the Center for Academic Support & Enrichment (CASE), help strengthen foundational skills.
Demonstrating Proficiency in Reading, Writing, and Mathematics
APSU students must demonstrate proficiency in reading, writing, and mathematics prior to enrollment OR during initial terms of enrollment by registering and completing a co-requisite general education course OR a subject-specific proficiency course. See University Wide Degree Requirements for course options.
For more information about co-requisite labs, contact the Center for Academic Support & Enrichment (CASE).
Maximum Loads
Students who meet full admission requirements may enroll in and receive credit toward graduation in a maximum of 18 credit hours during the fall and spring semesters. A deviation from this policy must be approved on a Request for Overload form by the student’s advisor or the department chair and the dean of the college in which the student’s major is housed. The maximum load for undergraduate students during the summer terms is eight (8) hours in either five-week session or fourteen (14) hours during the entire summer term.
