REGISTRATION ACCESS NUMBER - RAN

The RAN is the Registration Access Number which allows you to access the Voice Response System and WEB for registration purposes. Your RAN is obtained from your faculty advisor during your registration advisement session. The RAN purposely changes each semester to ensure that you meet with your academic advisor at least once a semester. At times, your faculty advisor might be unavailable to meet with you. If this occurs, The Deans, Assistant Deans and the Department Chairs all have access to your RAN numbers through the SIS system. So... if another advisor is available to help you, or if you were not listed on your advisors print out, you can call your dept. chair, assistant dean or your dean for the number.
