Step 5: Register!

On or after June 1st, once your Planner is completed and you’re comfortable with your courses, you’re ready to register.  Though your account may currently show that you need an advising code, that requirement will be removed on June 1st.  Then follow the steps below:

• Go to the Student Link, click the “Academics” tab and then “Registration”
• Click on “Reg Options” in the upper right-hand corner (image)
• Click on “Register for Class” (image)
• Next to Search by: click Planner “Go” (image)
• Check the boxes next to all the courses in your Planner (image)
• Click on “Add Classes to Schedule” (image)
• In the popup that asks if you’re sure you want to add, click “OK”
• If you get green check-marks, that means the courses have successfully been added to your schedule. If you get a red “X” or a flag that means one of your courses did not get added. It might mean the class is already full and you’ll need to pick an alternate section/course. See if you can troubleshoot the issue.  If you’re still stuck, don’t worry! We’ll help you with this during a one-on-one meeting with your academic advisor after Orientation (keep reading in Step 6 for more information!).
• Click on “View” highlighted in red
• Click on “Graph” to view your schedule! Your registration will be saved automatically.

If your last name begins with A-K (and you’re not taking ES110), you will take 16 credits, and may take no more than 18 credits this semester.  If your last name begins with L-Z (and you are taking ES110), you will take 17 credits, and may take no more than 19 credits this semester.  These credit allowances will swap in the Spring.  You may choose to use these “extra” 2 credits to register for a PDP (optional Physical Education courses) or CAS FY101 (an optional First Year Experience course).

NOTE:  If you take more than 18 credits (without ES110) or 19 credits (with ES110) YOU WILL BE CHARGED ADDITIONAL TUITION. 

Congratulations on registering for your first college semester! Continue to Step 6 for what’s next.
