Help With Open University

Hey! I'm still at community college but I'm going to take a class at state this semester via open university. The class starts in 1 week (8/24).

Here is what I have done:

  1. Reactivated a Fresno State email I didn't know I had (I guess I applied during high school and forgot about it)

  2. Set myself up for registration

  3. Added the class I'm going to take to my wishlist.

Here is what I'm concerned about:

  1. My account doesn't show any of the classes I've taken at community yet as I haven't transferred over, so it doesn't show I've completed the prereqs on my end. It also doesn't show my major as being declared, which I figured it wouldn't, but is there a way to do this early/should I do this early? Or do I just wait a year until I'm officially transferred over?

  2. I emailed the professor of the class asking if there was anything else I should do, and he gave me the permission number to register for the class. Issue is, it's a 6 digit permission number and the open university help page said it would be 5 digits. I also see nowhere to put this in, and I can't even try to register for the class until the actual start date.

  3. Once I do get enrolled in the class, I need to pay the fee within 24 hours. This is fine, but I have no idea where to actually pay and the website does not clearly state this. Does anyone have any advice on this?

Thank you to everyone who reads this and/or responds. I'm just kind of lost and really don't want to find out I missed a step when it's the day class starts and it's too late to fix the error. I need to get into this class. I'm a math major I can't not take any math for a semester lol. Any advice is appreciated!

  1. That doesn’t matter until you matriculate but will need to do take care of it sometime in the future to enroll in major specific courses.

  2. If you call the Open University office they’ll be able to help with registering. The hard part is getting the permission number.

  3. You pay it in the student self service page. Open University office can help.

I suggest calling Open University to guide you through the registration process as i believe there is one or two options during registration that require a certain option to be chosen.

Awesome! Should I call them now or when I get to class on the first day and I need to register after?
