What is a RAN?
RAN stands for Random Access Number. It is a computer generated code that changes from semester to semester. You will need a new RAN for each semester (e.g., fall, spring) with the exception of the summer-fall registration. The RAN for fall registration also works for summer registration. SAVE YOUR RAN IN MANY SAFE PLACES! You will need it any time you want to change your schedule (e.g., drop or add a course). It is wise to keep your RAN in your cell phone, as a note in your email, in your wallet, on your computer at home AND at school. It is not your advisors fault if you lose your RAN and cannot change your schedule. Advisors get VERY cranky when they get emails from students regarding lost RANs. Ultimately, losing your RAN will result in delays making schedule changes and you may even not get into a desired course.
