The Registration Process For Medical Students

Students are responsible for their own registration. You will not be able to register if you have a checkstop so please check on this before registration begins. General Information: Registration at UB can be accomplished in two ways:

  • BIRD ( Billing, Inquiry, Registration, Drop/Add ) is the touch tone system, which in addition to course registration, can be used to learn grades, listen to your class schedule, or accept financial aid.
    BIRD registration phone number : 645-7800.
    BIRD HELP LINE 829-2370.
    If you need to create a new PIN number call the BIRD help line.

  • SOAR ( Student On-line Access to Records ) is the web based student records system, which can be used for course registration as well as to obtain grades and view/print your class schedule.
    http://soar.buffalo.edu/

Registration Process:
Each student will register using either of the two methods stated above. Completing this process will also satisfy the Financial Aid and Student Accounts (billing) offices. Registration takes place in early November and early April for the following semester. OME will notify you of the specific dates as they become available. You will need your PIN number to register. Failure to register could result in late charges (that you will be responsible for) and exclusion from your desired courses. If you have any problems or questions with the registration process please contact the OME.

For Course Descriptions : go to the OME curriculum webpage; Click on Course book; Click on desired department; Make note of desired course numbers.

For Registration Numbers : go to Registration & Related Information Home Page: http://wings.buffalo.edu/services/rec-reg/regis.html. Click on UB Electronic Class Schedules; under Graduate Electronic Schedule Click on "All Courses That Departments Want to Have Published". Click on desired Department Name. Click on desired program and make note of the six-digit registration number. This is the registration number you will need to complete SOAR or BIRD registration. Make sure there is available seating and course is not closed.

Instructions for Registration: Specific registration instructions will be sent to students each semester before the process begins.

Address Changes:
Please remember to keep the OME and Records and Registration up-to-date with your current addresses: permanent, local and emergency contact. This is extremely important, as administrative and academic offices at UB depend upon our office to provide current address information when important notices need to be sent to you. If your permanent address is incorrect, and you don't receive your University bills, you could be subject to late payment penalties. Simply click on the "Student Information" menu on the Records and Registration web site for procedures for submitting an address change or submit the change to OME; our offices share information so you need only notify one office of the change.

Special Notes:

  • Elective Choices Course descriptions of the Elective Choices for the academic year can be found on the OME curriculum page under CourseBook.
  • The registration numbers for Elective courses can be found in the Fall Graduate and Professional Class Schedule.
  • Ambulatory Experiences A list of Approved Ambulatory Experiences can be found in the CourseBook web page.
  • Once you have registered for your chosen course, the OME should be notified by returning the Required Ambulatory Care Experience form. <http://www.smbs.buffalo.edu/ome/form/ambulatory.htm>
    Failure to notify the OME of your choice before the course begins will not fulfill the ambulatory requirement.
