First Year Course Registration

With course registration opening on Tuesday, November 26 at 9 a.m. Eastern, we encourage you to take some time to double check a few important items. 

  1. Act to remove any pre-registration holds in SIS: Prior to registration, confirm that any holds have been removed from your account by viewing the “Tasks” tile in SIS. If you have a hold, use the links below for instructions on how to lift that hold.
  2. Review follow-up guidance from your four-year advisor: After your four-year advisor meeting, you received a summary email to your CWRU email account listing the courses to enroll in this spring. In addition to the First-Year Course Selection Guide, you should review this email before registering for courses.
  3. Confirm that AP, IB and/or approved transfer credit is posted as you expected: You can check this in SIS in the “Grades and History” tile, and then click “Course History”. Incoming credit must be posted in order to advance to the next-level course. If you believe you have official AP or IB credit that is missing, first confirm that you have submitted your official scores to CWRU. You can then follow up with your four-year advisor for further support.
  4. Validate your Shopping Cart to double check for date/time conflicts or pre/co-requisite issues. Review the SIS instructions on how to register from your Shopping Cart (Step 16-20).
  5. Log in on November 26 and enroll When registration opens on November 26 at 9 a.m. Eastern, return to your Shopping Cart in SIS and click “enroll” to process your registration.
    • After you register for your classes, visit your Roadmap to update your checklist and mark “Course Registration” as complete, and refresh the page.
    • If you selected a Topical Seminar, a new item called "Academic Inquiry Seminar Placement Times" will activate to allow you to indicate your interests.
    • If you selected 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.

Good luck with registration!
