Preparing for Course Registration 

Choosing Courses:

You are registering for your fall semester courses. You will register for a different set of spring semester courses in November.

Do:

  • Select four courses that interest you!
  • Select a First-Year Writing Seminar (it’s required for incoming first years!)
  • Sample broadly for your other three courses—consider both courses with which you have some experience, as well as those that you may not have heard about before.
  • Consider a distribution requirement. It’s not required for your first semester, but it can be a way to try out a new subject.
  • Schedule your classes throughout the week (not all on the same days) and leave time for lunch!

Don't:

  • Enroll in more than one science course with a lab section that is three hours or longer.
  • Schedule more than three classes on any one day—spread them out throughout the week.
  • Schedule more than two courses in a row. (10 minutes between classes is fine to get from one to another, but three courses in a row can be very hard—leave a break for yourself!)

 


Other Considerations:

  • You may choose to add a half-credit ensemble or music instruction course for a total of 4.5 courses. 

  • A few courses are sequenced such that in order to take a spring semester course in a subject, you first need to take the preceding fall semester course (e.g. language courses or some science courses). 

  • Some courses have a lecture and lab component. You will see these courses have two time blocks associated with them and you need to schedule around both. An example of this CHEM 1101-A/L1; if you successfully registered into this, you would attend section A of CHEM 1101 and its corresponding lab, L1.


Building Saved Schedules in Workday:

Saved schedules in Workday allow you to put together potential schedules in advance of registration. Plan to visit a Zoom drop-in session about this!

This allows you to:

  • experiment with multiple possible schedules in which your class times do not overlap
  • determine whether you are eligible to take a course.  
  • check if the courses require a prerequisite (course you need to take before you take this one) or placement survey, whether they have labs, discussion sections, or require additional time (such as for film screenings), and whether they have open seats (Workday will show all these details).

To understand your eligibility for a course, please review your saved schedules very carefully; if there is a blue number next to a course listing under the column “Alerts”, please click on that to see what you need to fix before registration.

Before you register, you should create at least one saved schedule in Workday and have ideas for alternate courses.  and how to register for .
