Step 3. Make a reservation for Orientation

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. During this event, students will register for classes, learn about support services, and have the opportunity to meet current students as well as other incoming students. You can register for orientation starting October 1st.

Step 4. Take Course Placement Assessments

If you have not earned college-level math or English credit above the remedial level, you are required to take an assessment to determine course placement. Some exceptions apply.

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 Your Immunizations

You’re required to show proof of these immunizations:

• MMR (measles, mumps, and rubella)
• Tdap (tetanus and diphtheria)
• meningococcal, and
• varicella

You must also be screened for tuberculosis, and School of Nursing and School of Health Professions students may need additional immunizations.

Before you get any new vaccinations, log in to the UAB Patient Portal and check your immunization requirements. Immunization records for Alabama residents that are already on file with the state registry are added automatically. If you’re an Alabama resident with questions about immunizations, contact a medical clearance associate through the Patient Portal.

Step 8. Submit Health Insurance

If you’re a full-time student, then you must show proof of health insurance coverage. Don’t have private coverage? Then you’ll be enrolled automatically in UAB’s Student Health Insurance Plan. The premium will be added to your student account unless you submit a waiver indicating proof of personal insurance coverage.
