The steps involved in course registration

During the trial run, students can familiarize themselves with the course registration process.

We recommend that all students log in to the trial environment and practice creating their schedules.

The trial environment becomes available about a month before the registration period for the academic year. 

For trial dates and further details

Registration periods are set based on the student’s study program and year of study.

Registration for courses shall take place only in the order described above.

The personal registration window of each student is displayed in the In-Bar portal about a month before the registration period.

Registration periods for 2024-25

Course registration takes place gradually, based on each student’s study program and year of study.

Students may register for courses only in the registration window established for them.

The registration window is a four-hour period on a particular date and time, during which students may register for courses or make changes to their schedule. Course registration is limited to that window only.

After registering in the assigned time window, students are given the option of logging in to the system between 6:00 p.m. and 04:00 a.m. on the night of the assigned window and on the two nights that follow (on the last night – only until midnight) to continue the course registration process / make schedule changes.

Your personal time window can be found on the In-Bar platform under “TimeTables ....” (on the right). https://inbar.biu.ac.il/Live/Login.aspx

The course registration system is not available on Friday, Shabbat nor holidays.

Registration window for latecomers
Latecomer windows are intended for students whose first time window has passed (including the nighttime windows) and was not utilized at all.

Latecomer windows will not be available for students who do not register for courses using the online registration system.

Responsibility for drawing up a schedule and making sure it corresponds to the enrolled program lies with the student.

Any registration/cancellation of courses affects your tuition and obligates you, correspondingly, as is binding by the Tuition Policy Document.

Students are required to log into In-Bar > Schedule and verify that their course schedule has been updated accordingly.

Students attending classes for which they have not registered will be considered as not having attended the course and will not be permitted to take exams.

Retroactive registration will not be possible.

The intent of the change window is to allow students to make changes in their course schedule (registering for courses or dropping courses) after the start of the academic year or the spring semester.

Tuition charges are updated accordingly.

There are two change periods in the course of the academic year:

• One change period at the start of the academic year, in which changes can be made to fall semester courses, spring semester courses or yearlong courses.
• The change window for spring semester courses only is held about a week before the start of that semester.
