New Student Orientation is a required rite of passage for all new Blazers. To safeguard our campus community from the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, orientation will be conducted online.

You can register for orientation starting October 1st.

Step 4. Take the Math Placement Assessment

Students who have not completed a college-level math course (excludes remedial math and Finite Math) with a grade of C or better must take the Math Placement Assessment. Students must take the test at least one week before registering for classes. To access the Math Placement Assessment, log into BlazerNET using your BlazerID and password.

Step 5. Make an appointment with your academic advisor

You can rely on your academic advisor for information, assistance, and encouragement throughout your time at UAB. To review course selection before registration, students should meet with their advisor either by phone or email. You may make an appointment online with your advisor using the "My Appointment" button on your BlazerNET homepage.

Step 6. Register for Classes

After you meet with your academic advisor and attend orientation, you may register for classes through BlazerNET using their BlazerID and password. Once a student is logged into BlazerNET, they should click on "Registration.”

Step 7. Submit Final Transcripts

If you are currently enrolled in high school or college you will need to request that a final transcript be sent to UAB.*

* UAB accepts both mailed and electronic transcripts - Mailing Address. Transcripts must be sent directly to UAB from the institution to be considered official. For transcripts sent through a secured transcript service (like Parchment, eScrip, or National Student Clearinghouse), please select University of Alabama at Birmingham from the vendor’s dropdown menu.
