At orientation, your advisor and a peer advisor helped you register.  For Winter term you will be doing it on your own.  Many students still make appointments to speak with their advisor before registration.  To do so, either stop by our office in 1255 Angell Hall, or call our front desk at 764-0332.  But if you have questions about the registration process, we have many resources to help.

The University's Registrar's Office handles all registration issues.  The Registrar's Office registration page provides many helpful hints.  The University Time Schedule is also on-line and maintained by the Registrar's Office.  And of course, you will need Wolverine Access. 

FAQs Registration

Do I have to do anything special to register for Spring or Summer classes?

No. Registration for Spring and Summer half-terms takes place at the same time as registration for Fall term.

How is my registration appointment time determined?

Priority for early appointment times is determined by the number of credits you have completed. Students with more credits will generally receive earlier times, but times are allocated randomly within groups of students who have roughly the same number of credits.

What if I want to take more than 18 credits?

Registration will not allow you to elect more than 18 credits during a full term, or more than 9 during a half term. If you wish to take such an overload you must obtain permission from an academic advisor.

I do not want to register for next term, because I'm taking some time off. Do I need to do anything special?

Nope. Just don't register. If you've already registered and decide not to attend, you may disenroll anytime before the first day of classes. You should, however, do so as soon as you know that you will not attend to free up spaces in the classes you are registered for and to avoid the disenrollment fee, should you not disenroll by the first day of classes.

How do I find out if a class has seats reserved for a specific group of students?
Information about seats reserved for a specific group of students appears in a field called Open Seats Reserved For on the Class Details page. This field displays directly beneath the Open Seats field, and does not display unless the class was set up with seats reserved for a specific group of students.

How do I waitlist a class?
If a class is closed and has a waitlist available, the 'Add me to waitlist if this class is closed' option will appear as a checkbox you can select on the Class Details page for this class.
