• Check for your enrollment date HERE. Mark your calendar!
• We strongly recommend that you register as soon as you’re able to enroll for the semester! Some classes will fill, especially in PSYC and NRSC.

• If you can’t see your advisor before your enrollment date/time, please don’t wait to register – do your best to add what you know/think you need based on the resources below. You can connect with your advisor after you enroll to check on that schedule and make any adjustments.

• Check your degree audit, look for red Xs, and build a list of potential courses. You can bring this list to drop-ins or a same-day micro appointment to check your selections with an advisor.
• Don't know where to begin?
  • Start with choosing the next required 1-2 classes in your major and build your schedule around that.
  • Then look at adding in coursework for any other programs (minors, certificates) and any remaining General Education classes.
  • If Gen Ed is done and you don’t have any other programs, you probably need electives outside of your major.
• Have a long-term plan?
  • Check the list of classes in the Spring 2027 semester. If you made any adjustments since meeting with your advisor, you can use your long-term plan as a bank of classes to choose from (just pay attention to classes that have prerequisites).

• An elective is any course that counts for general degree hours outside of your major, minor, or General Education requirements.
  • This includes the 120 total hours for the degree, and the 75 hours required outside of your major.
  • That means there is no single list of electives that works for everyone, because it is different for every student.
• Not sure where to start?
  • Considering searching for classes in General Education categories that you enjoyed but have already completed (for example, Arts & Humanities or US Perspective).
  • If you are a junior or senior, you probably need upper-division (UD) electives from 3000-4000 level coursework.
    • Arts & Sciences updates aÌý each semester that don’t have significant pre-requisites or major restrictions.

• Don’t panic! Many waitlists are resequenced, especially in PSYC and NRSC. This means that a priority system is used to determine who is automatically enrolled when a seat becomes available, so your position may shift around depending on your standing. Check the class notes to see if the waitlist is automatic (first-come, first-served) or resequenced.
• Check HERE for more information on waitlists.

• Come to drop-ins or a same-day micro appointment! An advisor will work with you to remove the hold and we can setup a follow-up appointment if need be.
