How to Register for Classes
Common Registration Issues
You have reached a credit stop point during the registration process. The purpose of this hold is to confirm your course/degree selection and discuss your goals. You can contact an advisor by calling 301-934-7574.
You are attempting to register for a course that requires a prerequisite requirement that is not on your CSM record. If you have taken this prerequisite at CSM, contact the office information provided above. If you have taken this prerequisite at another institution, contact an Academic Advisor.
You have a payment due to CSM. You will not be able to register for courses, receive your grades, or request a transcript until you satisfy your payment balance. You can contact Student Account Services at studentaccounts@csmd.edu or call 301-934-7712.
This is an Admissions Office hold. You can contact Admissions at askme@csmd.edu or call 301-934-2251 and select option 0.
This hold can also apply to students with an International Student status. International Students must maintain a full-time status and must meet with an Academic Advisor to register.
Check the term for which you are attempting to register for. This error appears when you attempt to register for a session that open registration has ended. You can contact the Registrar's Office at webreg@csmd.edu or call 301-934-7588.
You should continue to monitor course availability or join the waitlist. If you join a waitlist for a course and a seat becomes available, you will be notified by email and can also monitor in your Online Service account. You can contact the Registrar's Office at webreg@csmd.edu or call 301-934-7588.
