Not sure which classes to register for? Don’t worry, we can help. Find your Academic Advisor for guidance on choosing a major and the classes you need to graduate. 

If you are currently enrolled at another college or university, you can take courses at Columbus State and transfer them back to your home institution. It's a great way to save money and graduate faster. Learn more about transient and guest students

You may have a hold on your account. Get one-on-one assistance from Student Central. They have in-person and virtual support options and can help you take the steps you need to be ready to register. 

If you are registering for Autumn classes through Workday, you may have "tasks" to complete. Those are found in the inbox icon in the upper right-hand side of the screen. 

You can use financial aid for the Summer Semester. Make sure you fill out your Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). Here’s information on how to submit your FAFSA. If you need help, contact our Financial Aid department

We get it – it can be hard to focus on school when you’re juggling other responsibilities. But you may be able to access resources to ease the burden. Our Student Advocacy Center can help you with basic needs like housing, food, childcare, transportation, and technology.
