Step 2: Review and complete “My Tasks”

(Find the icon in the upper right corner of your Workday homepage).

  • Continuing Student Onboarding tasks must be completed prior to Autumn and Spring Semester registration.
  • Any tasks in your “My Tasks” list require your attention. Please complete them and reach out if you need help.

Step 3: Check your Academics Hub before registration opens.

  • View Your Registration Appointment. It is the earliest date and time you can begin registering for the upcoming semester.
  • Review Your Academic Plan to map out the courses you need to complete your program. It may be created by you or your advisor and can guide what classes to register for next.
  • Continuing (current) students may not have an Academic Plan in Workday. Your course recommendations may still be in My Academic Plan (MAP) or your Degree Audit at daweb.cscc.edu.
  • Use Schedule Builder to plan your class schedule in advance. When registration opens, you can register for your selected courses with one click. Remember, the earlier you plan and schedule your classes, the more choices you’ll have.
