Registration. All
students must pay fees by the fee payment deadline. Those on full
financial aid must confirm registration prior to the fee payment
deadline. You may do this through GoldLink
OnLine or by calling the Office of the Comptroller
at (423) 439-4212.
Pay fees. Paying your full balance before the fee payment deadline
will automatically confirm you.

and fees are not mailed to students. To see your account statement, visit GoldLink
OnLine.

7.
Buy your books
|
|
|
After you register for classes, you can submit a Textbook Reservation
Form in the University Bookstore or you can reserve
your books online. We will hold your textbooks and have them available for
you to pick up in the bookstore before classes begin.
Tip: This is the best way to buy used
textbooks. If you don't reserve your textbooks, bring your course
schedule to the bookstore
so you can match course and section numbers.

Go to class!
|
|
|
To succeed in college, show up! Come to class every day; come
well prepared. If you must miss a class due to sickness or another
excusable reason, let your instructor know. You will be responsible
for making up any missed tests or assignments.
Note: Some instructors and departments at ETSU have special class
attendance policies. Read your syllabus carefully.
A calendar
of dates when classes begin and end, final exams, and
holidays is available online and in your printed course schedule.

| 9.
See your advisor |
|
| Seeing your academic advisor
regularly is a key to succeeding in college and graduating on time.
New students must see their advisors before registering for their
second term, but it’s a good idea to meet your advisor not
long after you begin your studies at ETSU. |
