How to Register for Distance Learning

The online registration process is accessed through my.jtsa.edu/ics.
To register please complete the following steps:
  1. View the registration tutorial if you need instructions to use my.jtsa.edu/ics.
  2. Know your JTS ID number; you will especially need to know the last four digits for this process. Your ID number has been printed on your JTS bills, schedules, grade reports, and transcripts. Can't find any of these documents? Email registrar@jtsa.edu from your JTS email account.
  3. Contact your adviser to discuss and review your course selections. Your adviser will complete your registration by approving your selections through the online system.

MAY I REGISTER FOR ALL COURSES AND GRADE CATEGORIES ONLINE?

Independent study: email an independent study form to the JTS registrar's office after your adviser has registered your for the class.

Pass/Fail grade request: email a pass/fail grade request form to the JTS registrar's office after your adviser has registered you for the class. The registrar's office will change your specific class registration to pass/fail.

Audit Request: to audit a course, email an audit request form to the JTS registrar's office after your adviser has registered you for the class. The registrar's office will change your specific class registration to auditing.

ARE ALL STUDENTS REQUIRED TO REGISTER ONLINE?

All students register through the online registration process. However, students with registration "holds" (accounting holds, outstanding library fines, lack of immunization documents, lack of emergency contact information) must contact the JTS registrar's office prior to the registration deadlines listed in the academic calendar.

IS THERE A "HOLD" ON MY REGISTRATION?

Log on to my.jtsa.edu. If there is a hold on your account, you will see the following message on your home page: "Alert: You have holds and are not allowed to Add and Drop courses". The specific type of hold will be listed on the same page under "holds." If you have a hold on your registration, contact the JTS registrar's office prior to the registration deadlines listed in the academic calendar.

DO I NEED TO REGISTER?

All currently enrolled students must register during the registration week listed in the academic calendar. You must register if you plan to take any classes or if you are not taking classes but plan to register in any other category (see Registration Information for more details). You will have ample time to drop or add courses after the semester begins. Failure to register by the registration deadline will result in late registration charges.

DO I NEED TO REGISTER IF I AM NOT TAKING CLASSES?:

If you are not taking courses, you must register for one of the following categories:

  • Leave of Absence—students in any school
  • Maintaining Matriculation—students in any school
  • Semester in Israel—List College only
  • Extended Residence—MA, DH., EdD, Ph., DSM
  • Matriculation and Facilities—PhD (PhD students must be approved by Dr. Bruce Nielsen), EdD
