You should have received an email from us following your acceptance detailing the next steps for your particular program. If you have any questions about how to proceed, please email <a href="mailto:onlineadvising@ua.edu">onlineadvising@ua.edu</a>.</li> <li><strong>Graduate students</strong> will receive instructions from their academic departments about which courses to take, but advising is not required for registration. If you have questions, reach out to the program coordinator in your college.</li> </ul> <h3>Registration</h3> <ul> <li>For more information about the registration process, please review <a href="https://mediasite.ccs.ua-net.ua.edu/Mediasite/Play/2cc03517baf0429c9ab04b46a5ab28151d?autoStart=false" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">this helpful video</a> or <a href="https://bamabydistance.ua.edu/current-students/ua-student-essentials/registering-for-courses/">this step-by-step list</a>.</li> </ul> <h2>Textbooks</h2> <p>Textbooks can be purchased through the <a href="https://www.universitysupplystore.com/buy_textbooks.asp?" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">UA Supe Store</a> or through the bookstore of your choice.
