Time Tickets
The University of Montana uses a time ticket schedule to open course registration on a tiered basis during the priority registration window, which takes place over the first two weeks of registration for autumn and spring semesters. Students are encouraged to register during priority registration to have a better chance of registering for preferred classes.
Time tickets determine the date that each student may begin registering for classes based on a student's class standing (freshman, sophomore, junior, senior, post-baccalaureate, or graduate), unless they belong to a special registration group.
Note: The information on this page is intended for continuing, transfer, and graduate students. New incoming freshmen are registered through core course registration for their first semester.
Time Ticket Schedule
Autumn priority registration begins mid-spring semester, and spring priority registration begins in mid-autumn semester. Summer sessions do not have priority registration windows. Instead, registration opens for all students at the same time.
Time tickets are generated shortly before advising begins for the priority registration period.
Students may register during and after their scheduled day/time.
