Confirming your first semester schedule

Congratulations on completing your first course registration experience! Please note that the course registration tools in SIS will lock for further changes by students at 11:59 p.m. Eastern on Thursday, July 18.  Please note that due to scheduled maintenance, SIS will be unavailable to all users at the end of the day, Friday, July 19, until Monday, July 22. During this time, you will not be unable to log-in to SIS to view your schedule or other student details. Your four-year advisor will review your fall course schedule next week and reach out to you if changes are needed. 

You will be able to make adjustments to your schedule beginning Wednesday, August 21 at 9 a.m. Eastern when the drop/add period opens. As you adjust to your schedule during those first two weeks of classes, you will be able to continue to make changes through Friday, September 6 at 11:59 p.m. Eastern.  However, changes to courses recommended for your intended major should be discussed with your pre-major advisor or four-year advisor. 

If you are assigned a Fall Academic Inquiry Seminar, you will find out your final assignment soon.  Below are a few important reminders.

  • If you selected the “Topical” Academic Inquiry Seminar option, the Writing Program will determine your seminar enrollment based on your fall schedule and the preferences you provided on your Roadmap. If you did not complete the Topical Seminar preference form, or if your four-year advisor reached out to you to adjust your schedule, please return to your Roadmap to verify that your Academic Inquiry Seminar preferences are still valid with your adjusted schedule. If you do not submit your preferences by Friday, July 26, you will be placed in a Topical Seminar that fits the rest of your schedule.
  • If you selected a Foundations Seminar or Seminar for Non-Native Speakers of English, you will be placed in a section that fits your schedule, and do not need to take any further action.

If you are assigned to a Spring Academic Inquiry Seminar, you will be prompted with further AIQS course registration instructions in November.

During Discover Week, you will have the opportunity to discuss your fall semester schedule again with your pre-major advisor. You will find out who your pre-major advisor is during Discover Week.
