Prepare for Registration

This includes details of your holds, academic standing, student status, classification, earned credit hours, registration permits granted, and a summary of your declared curriculum (major & degree). This is a good place to check for barriers which may prevent you from registering in a current or upcoming term.

Plan Ahead

This is a tool for students and advisors to build a planned class schedule that can include courses and/or class sections, as well as notes about individual classes or about the plan. Registration plans are typically built by students and/or their advisors before registration opens for a new term. Please note that failing grades will put you out of sequence.

Select Plan Ahead.

Once you select a specific Term, select Create a New Plan.

Enter your Search Criteria of the course. Select the course you wish to add to your plan. View the sections available for that course and add it to your plan. Once you add the course, you can Search Again to select another search criteria. Once you add the course, it will show as pending until registration is available to add the course to your schedule.

Once you have completed creating your plan, select Save Plan and give a name. You can create up to two plans. You can create a new plan or select one already created. To select a plan already created, click on Create a Plan, then click on Degree Works Plans.

Action Items

If there are items you need to complete prior to registering, you will be prompted to address before moving forward. Click on View Action Item(s), complete the action items and Save.

Register for Classes

Accessing the Registration Menu:

  • Option 2: Click on the Student Services Icon, Select Register Now.

Select the term, click Continue. Click in the Subject box to see the list of courses. Enter your search criteria, click Search. Courses matching your search criteria will appear in a list.

The default view in Register for Classes shows a search pane at top and the student's class schedule summary in calendar and list formats below. As students add classes, they are first added in a "Pending" status (similar to a shopping cart), so you can see how the class fits your current schedule before registering. Students can also drop and waitlist classes from here. Assuming there are no registration errors, a registration notice will appear at the top right of the screen indicating the save was successful.

View Registration Information

Students can use this to view their class schedule in various formats. The default page displays the Class Schedule for a term in both simple list and calendar formats. The Schedule Details displays more detailed information about each class, including start and end dates, meeting days/times, classroom, and instructor(s). Click on a class title to access full class details, including the catalog course description, textbook information, enforced prerequisites and other registration restrictions, and special class fees. Note that these views only reflect actively registered classes, and do not include withdrawn or waitlisted classes.
