Spring 2023 and Summer 2023
Hello Students,
Thank you for continuing your education at Peru State College. The following provides information on the registration process as well as some helpful general information.
Spring 2023 and Summer 2023 Class Registration
Spring 2023 and Summer 2023 priority registration will begin October 25 – October 27, 2022. Students will enroll according to class standing (senior, junior, sophomore, freshman). Students may find the date they are allowed to enroll posted in their myPSC account.
Spring registration requires students to contact their academic advisor, who is listed in myPSC, to have their advising hold released. Students must communicate with their academic advisor in person, via email, via Zoom, or by telephone regarding what courses they wish to take this coming fall before their academic advising hold can be released. Viewing the Academic Requirements report on the Academics tab in myPSC will assist students in determining their remaining degree requirements.
Summer registration will continue through the first week of the summer term. The Summer 2023 semester begins June 5, 2023 and runs through July 28, 2023. Students are not required to meet with their academic advisor prior to enrolling in summer courses, but it is highly recommended.
If an advisor is not listed for a student in myPSC, please contact the respective academic school providing your degree program:
School of Arts and Sciences, 402-872-2237 or artsandsciences@peru.edu
School of Education, 402-872-2244 or education@peru.edu
School of Professional Studies, 402-872-2432 or shicks@peru.edu
If a student has a more in-depth academic question, they can contact their advisor listed in myPSC or the respective Academic Dean:
Dr. Paul Hinrichs, Dean of Arts and Sciences, phinrichs@peru.edu
Dr. Dwayne Chism, Dean of Education, dchism@peru.edu
Dr. Amber Mahan, Dean of Professional Studies, amahan@peru.edu
Specific questions regarding financial aid should be directed to OneStop@peru.edu or 402-872-2228 as academic advisors focus on the academic progress of students and are not experts in financial aid.
A student who is subject to academic probation should complete their Academic Probation Contract as they will not be eligible to enroll until that contract is submitted and reviewed. For any questions on their probation status, students can speak with their advisor or Dr. Susanne Williams, Retention Specialist, at swilliams@peru.edu.
Students on financial aid probation or suspension must work with financial aid personnel on these issues. Information on Satisfactory Academic Progress and the appeal process may be found here. If you have questions for Financial Aid, the One Stop office may be reached at 402-872-2228 or OneStop@peru.edu.
For more information on withdrawal dates, final exam schedules (on-campus classes) and other academic calendar information, please follow this link.
How do I use myPSC to register for classes?
For information on how to register for classes using myPSC, here is a guide from Student Records.
Students may use the advanced search function to make it easier to find specific classes by session, subject, mode of instruction (online vs on-campus), etc.
How do I determine what classes I need to take to complete my degree?
The easiest way to determine exactly which classes are still required for your academic program is to view your Academic Requirements report in myPSC. On the Academics tab in myPSC, click on “Academic Requirements” to see your academic progress. We recommend you view the screen output as it is presented rather than view it in the PDF version. To get a better understanding of how to read your Degree Audit, please review the guide found here.
Who is my Academic Advisor?
Your assigned academic advisor is located on the homepage of your myPSC account along with their contact information. Any academic questions should be forwarded to your advisor. In the event that you are having problems locating your assigned advisor, please contact Skye Hicks at shicks@peru.edu or 402-872-2432.
Who do I contact to release a hold on my myPSC account?
The easiest way to determine what type of hold is on your account is to review the hold in myPSC then contact the appropriate personnel or departments:
Admissions: 402-872-2221, admissions@peru.edu
Athletics: 402-872-2380
CATS: 402-872-2341, swilliams@peru.edu
Student Records: 402-872-2226, registrar@peru.edu
One Stop: 402-872-2228, OneStop@peru.edu
What is the One Stop office?
The One Stop office is your one stop resource for questions about financial aid, billing information, student payments, book vouchers, and various other topics listed here. One Stop is located on the second floor of CATS and can be reached at OneStop@peru.edu or 402-872-2228.
When will I be able to receive a transcript?
It takes approximately one week after the end of a semester for all end-of-term processing to be completed and final evaluations for graduates to begin. If you need a transcript with your degree statement on it, you can order it prior to the end of the semester (we recommend no more than 2 weeks ahead); be sure to choose the “Hold for Degree” option when you order. Graduates with a pending transcript request receive priority status once final graduation evaluations begin.
Transcripts can be ordered online here.

Course rotation schedules are available to assist you in planning your academic career. Here are links to the course rotation schedules in each academic school:
Professional Studies - Click on Advising Info then Course Rotation

How do I know if I am eligible for Financial Aid?
Students are encouraged to complete and submit the FAFSA at studentaid.gov as early as they can each academic year. All questions regarding financial aid eligibility may be sent to OneStop@peru.edu or by calling 402-872-2228. In regard to accepting financial aid, there is a Financial Aid link in myPSC where students can Accept or Decline awards.
Where do I find the bookstore so I can purchase books?
Here is the direct link to our online textbook store.
Book Vouchers: Students who plan to use their excess financial aid for textbook purchases:
- The College will send a financial aid voucher amount to the bookstore for students whose accepted financial aid awards exceed their account balance.

Book vouchers are only available to use before financial aid disburses in the second week of the term.

If you have any questions regarding this process, please email registrar@peru.edu.
What do I need to do to graduate?
Students will be notified once they have reached 84 hours telling them that they need to apply for graduation. The graduation application will be listed on the student’s myPSC To Do List once they reach 85-90 credit hours. Students should speak to their advisor if they have questions about their graduation status.
