Register for Classes

Get Ready for Spring Semester
Review and Complete Your Onboarding Tasks
When you log in to Workday, you may see a few items waiting in My Tasks. Complete them as soon as you can so they don't get in the way when it's time to register. If anything needs to be updated, you'll have time to take care of it before registration opens.
Check Your Registration Appointment
Registration opens for most students the week of October 19. Your registration appointment is based on your program and the number of credit hours you've completed. Check the Academics Hub in Workday to find your registration appointment, the earliest date and time you can register for classes. Spring registration will be open to all by October 22.
