How do I register?
New Students: If you are a new student, you will be scheduled for a registration session. This registration session will provide you with a basic orientation to the college and also get you registered for your classes. Returning Students: you will need your Advising number (also called your Alternate PIN) from your advisor each semester before you will be able to register. Once you receive your advising number or alternate PIN, you will use Banner Web to register for classes. Visit Banner Web/MyInfo by going to https://www.gfcmsu.edu and clicking on Banner Web/MyInfo, located near the top left of the page. Click on "Log in to BannerWeb/MyInfo using your NetID". Enter your NetID and password and click Login. Click on "Student Services". Click on "Registration". Click on "Add/Drop Classes". You will be prompted for your Advisor Number or Alternate PIN. Enter it in the box here and click "Submit". Enter the CRN numbers for the courses you want to register for in the boxes under the Add Classes section of the page. If you need to look up the CRN numbers for your desired courses, you can do so by searching the Class Schedule on Banner Web/MyInfo, or by going to www.gfcmsu.edu, clicking on Students, and clicking on Course Schedule. Click "Submit".

If the course I need is closed, what are my options?
If the course is closed, download an Override Authorization Form, print it off and return it to the College; you may also fax it to 406.771.2267. Please put your phone number or email address on this form so we can contact you if your override is approved. You may email the faculty teaching the course directly for approval; however, you will still be required to fill out this form. NEW: Contact Admissions and find out how you can be put on a waiting list. Watch Banner Web for an opening because there are lots of adds and drops the first couple days of the semester.

Will I need textbooks and where can I get them?
Yes, you will most likely need a textbook for your online class. You can see what books you will need for your classes by logging into BannerWeb, clicking on the Student Services tab, and clicking on the Registration link. On this page you should see some green text at the bottom of the menu and clicking on this text will take you to the list of books you need for your currently enrolled courses on The College Bookstore's site. You may also visit The Bookstore directly at www.thecottagebookstore.com.
