• Students will build a ranked course plan of the next semester courses via Stellic
  • Students should:
    • Consult the resources available (see above)
    • Search for available/appropriate courses
    • Create a ranked plan of seven courses
    • Meet with their faculty advisor
  • A student may rank a course as long as:
    • There are seats available in the course
    • The student's class bin is NOT equal to 'X'
    • The Permission of Instructor (POI) is NOT required
• After Pre-Reg Planning closes, the ranked plans will be run through a scheduling algorithm that will attempt to enroll each student in their ranked courses. Note the following regarding the scheduling algorithm:
  • Students can be enrolled in a maximum of four full credit courses, but more if the additional courses are partial credit
  • It is appropriate for ranked plans to include time conflicts, but students will NOT be scheduled into a time conflict

• Scheduled courses will be posted and available to students and advisors in Stellic
• Students should access Stellic before their official Direct Registration time to prepare
  • It is important for students to take the time to search for courses to add BEFORE Direct Registration begins
  • Direct Registration happens in real time! Students who wait to find courses risk losing available seats to other students
• During this time, students can:
  • Review course enrollments
  • Assign ranked Add/Drop requests
  • Submit POI/prereq requests
  • Add courses to their list
  • Search for courses to pursue during Direct Registration and Add/Drop

• During this time, students can:
  • Enroll in available courses
  • Drop enrolled courses
  • Assign Add/Drop requests
  • Submit POI/prereq requests
  • Search for available courses
• During this time, advisors can:
  • Take action electronically/remotely
  • Approve enrollments/drops
  • Deny enrollments/drops
  • Request a discussion regarding enrollments/drops ('See Me' option)

In order to be eligible to participate in Add/Drop, all students are required to complete Workday tasks after arriving on campus for the current semester.

• During this time, students can:
  • Submit Add/Drop enrollment requests for instructor approval
  • Drop enrolled courses
  • Register for tutorial courses and student forums
  • Discuss the four full credit course limit with their faculty advisor
  • Finalize crosslistings, grading mode and general education designations
• Per the Educational Policy Committee (EPC) Policy on the First Class Meeting, unless registered students attend the first class meeting or communicate directly with the instructor prior to the first class (in writing, by email or in person), the instructor can drop a student from his/her class list. View the policy on the EPC website.
• Additionally, students are encouraged to make use of electronic enrollment requests to express interest in a seat in a class that is full. For more information, see the Enrollment Request Statement.

Additional Resources

• Registrar’s Add/Drop page
• Email etiquette tips for Add/Drop

• WesMaps is where students can search for courses.
• The search function aids in finding courses that fit into specific time blocks and count toward certain department requirements
• Additional WesMaps quick-links:
  • Gen-ed courses
  • First-Year Seminars (FYS)
  • Science courses appropriate for non-majors

• Some majors require requisite courses, while others do not. To explore each department, as well as any requirements within them, visit the Areas of Study page.
• Some majors require the fulfillment of Stage I or Stage I & II General Education Expectations.
• The more courses a student ranks, the better. If a student ranks a class during Pre-Registration and doesn’t get in, the computer system will then give that student a leg up on getting in to that course during the next round of Pre-Registration should they rank that same course again.
