REGIS Registration Process for Students

As part of the Institute's ongoing efforts to ensure that all enrollments are reviewed and approved by academic advisors, the online registration process in REGIS is changing beginning with WI 2025-26.

1. Preregistration Period – You create and submit a proposed schedule for your advisor's approval.
2. Registration Period – After your schedule is approved, you officially enroll in your courses.
3. Add Drop Period – REGIS is Closed; This is when students can continue to adjust their schedules by form.

You must have an approved schedule in REGIS before you will be able to click "Enroll" when the Registration Period begins.  You will have time to make your proposed schedule before your registration start time, which is when the Enrollment Button will appear.

During the Preregistration Period, there is no cap on the number of students that can request a Limited Seating course by adding it to their proposed schedule. It is possible that a larger number of students may add a course to their proposed schedule than the number of seats available in a given course.

Enrollment in Limited Seating courses will occur during the Registration Period on a first-come first-served basis when students click "Enroll" at their start time (see below for your start time). You can view how many students have requested a seat in a course by going to the Limited Seating Courses tab in REGIS.

Any unlimited seating courses approved during the Preregistration Period will be batch enrolled before the Registration Period.

Your Schedule Status - To ensure you are eligible to enroll
Your Course Statuses - To ensure your course enrollment requests were successful

These are the possible course statuses and appear next to each course on your Course Enrollment tab:

Proposed: You added it to your proposed schedule but are not yet taking a seat or in the class
Approved: Your advisor approved it, but you're not yet taking a seat or in the class

Removed: A 'Proposed' or 'Approved' course was removed from the schedule
Enrolled: You are enrolled in the course and taking a seat!
Dropped: An 'Enrolled' course was dropped
Cancelled: The course was cancelled

During this time, you will:

• Build your proposed schedule in REGIS
• Submit it to your advisor for review and approval by November 26th to ensure your advisor has adequate time to review and approve before the Registration Period
• Note: Proposed schedules do not reserve seats in classes during this phase
• Once your advisor records their approval in REGIS, you will receive email notification
• You should have an approved schedule by December 3rd to be ready to click ‘Enroll' when the Registration Period opens
• Students should go to their advisor first. If unable to get a hold of them, you may go to your option representative. Option representatives can also view and approve your schedule in REGIS. Please ensure that the advisor is included in any correspondence between you and your option representative.

Starting December 3rd, students whose proposed schedules have an Approved status will be able to formalize their intended course registrations via the ‘Enroll' button at the bottom of their ‘Course Enrollment' page in REGIS. The Enroll button will appear at a student's start time.

At your start time

• An "Enroll" button will appear at the bottom of your approved schedule in REGIS
• Enrollment is first come, first served, based on available seats
• If a course is full, your Approved status remains, but you will not be enrolled until a seat becomes available and you enroll
• You can check REGIS and attempt to enroll again if a seat opens

If you wish to make any changes to an Approved schedule during the Preregistration or Registration periods:

1. Ask your advisor to release your schedule in REGIS
2. Once released, you can update your proposed schedule and re-submit it for approval
3. After re-approval, you may attempt to enroll in the updated courses on a seat available basis during the registration period

• After December 12th, REGIS will close for schedule changes
• Any adds, drops, unit changes, etc. must be submitted via the Registration/Course Change Form or Time Conflict Form
• More details and deadlines about Add/Drop will be announced after the REGIS registration period ends
