Student Information
Class Registration
Your academic advisor will tell you which classes you need to take and in what order they need to be taken. Please speak with Sowell Center staff if you do not know who your advisor is.
Online Class Registration is available through Raiderlink.
View our updated schedule of classes.
NOTE: You cannot register for classes until after you have been admitted to the Texas Tech University Graduate School.
Note: if you have been enrolled at Texas Tech but do not attend either the Fall or Spring semesters, you will need to fill out a Returning Student Form (which can be downloaded from the Graduate School website) and fax or mail it to the Graduate School for re-enrollment. You only need to pay the enrollment fee the first time you enroll at Texas Tech.
Dropping a Class vs. Withdrawing from TTU
If you are enrolled in at least one other class, you can drop the course through Raiderlink. Please check the drop/withdraw dates on the Academic Calendar before dropping a class—you may still be responsible for paying full tuition if you do not drop before the last date to add/drop.
You may not drop all your classes (going down to 0 hours) on Raiderlink. Dropping all your classes implies you are withdrawing from the university, which must be done in person at the Office of the Registrar or by filling out the withdrawal form on the Registrar's website and either mailing or faxing it in.
If you need your eRaider name and password, call the help desk at: (806) 742-HELP or 1-877-484-3573.
Graduation Information
When you plan to graduate you must complete an Intent to Graduate Form early in the semester you plan to graduate. Additionally, make sure your graduation date is accurate in DegreeWorks (This is your program of study.)
Visit the Graduate School website for dates, forms and other pertinent information.
