Helpful tools for course registration

Course registration opens Tuesday, July 16 at 9 a.m. Eastern and will close on Thursday, July 18 at 11:59 p.m. Eastern. Review the information below to ensure a successful first-semester registration at CWRU.  

  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 fall.  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 July 16 and enroll. When registration opens 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 your placement is in a Spring Academic Inquiry Seminar (AIQS 850S), no additional action is required. 
    • If your placement is a Fall Academic Inquiry Seminar, and:
      • You selected a Topical Seminar, you'll need to indicate your preferred topical sections. A new item called "Academic Inquiry Seminar Placement Times" will activate to allow you to indicate your interests.
      • You selected the Foundations Seminar or the 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.
      • You will find out your specific Fall AIQS placement later in August.

As a final note, 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.
