Registration Pointers
Here are some things to be aware of before you get started with course registration in Workday:
- Be sure to check your student records for any holds at least one week prior to your registration starting time. This will give you time to clear any holds before you register.
- Go over your desired schedule with your advisor before you attempt to register.
- When adding and dropping classes, view any unresolved errors.
- Workday will check time conflicts when you register. You must resolve the conflict by changing one of the courses before your registration will be accepted.
- You may make changes to your schedule in Workday during your scheduled registration time, and any time registration is open.
- ALWAYS confirm your schedule after making changes by viewing your courses in Workday. Changes should be immediately available.
