Fall registration is coming up quickly! Putting together your schedule doesn't have to be a chore. Use these tips, and you'll feel confident as you get ready to plan your courses.Check your registration queue time and hold type: Once these dates and times are assigned (typically mid-semester), you can find this information by logging into MyU and selecting the Academics tab. Click on the Registration link on the top of the landing page. This will take you to your assigned time for registration. You can also find a general registration timeline on One Stop. Your hold type will determine who you meet with for advising. Click on the hold in MyU under your notifications for information on how to schedule that appointment.
Review the Four-Year Plan for your major
Review your APAS to make sure your record is correct, and to find what lib eds you have remaining: You should check your APAS 1-2 times per semester, typically before getting ready to register for the next semester or in preparation for your advising appointment, and after completing your registration to make sure everything looks accurate. You should use both your Four-Year Plan and APAS to inform your course selection decisions. Contact your advisor if you have further questions, or something looks out of place on your APAS.
Planning schedules: Many students use Schedule Builder to develop their schedules. This is a great resource, and can be helpful in navigating the numerous classes and section meeting times at the U. You may also search and register for individual classes via MyU. How-To Guides for different processes (i.e. search for a class, register, drop a course) can be found here.
Registration may take some patience and flexibility: Depending on your queue time and course availability, you might not get the schedule or courses you had hoped for initially. While there may not be a spot in a particular section now, keep an eye on sections that you want. Registration changes are frequent during this time and over the summer, and you could get into your desired course with a little patience and perseverance. Ultimately, it is important to get a spot in a course you need so you are not off sequence with your major, so some flexibility on your part will go a long way in helping you graduate in a timely manner.
Keep withdrawal and change deadlines in mind: Hopefully, the fall schedule you put together now is the perfect one for you! There is always the possibility that something may change, however, once classes start. It is very important to be aware of Fall 2023 deadlines, such as grading basis change, withdrawal, and add deadlines. You can find all of those by visiting this link. Put them in your calendar today!
Summer 2023 courses: Summer 2023 registration at the UMN opens on February 23. If you are planning to take a summer class, whether at the UofM or elsewhere, it is recommended that you check with your advisor for feedback. You can do so via email, drop-in advising (CSE advising drop-ins are available Monday-Friday 2p-4p Central, Mondays and Fridays are held virtually, Tuesdays-Thursdays are held in-person in 105 Lind Hall.), or by scheduling an appointment.
If you have additional questions or concerns, feel free to contact CSE Academic Advising. Your advisor is just an email away. Happy registration!
