Get Ready to Register in Workday Student
You need to review the following items before registering for courses in Workday. All the items you need to review are conveniently in one place: your Academics Hub! View the Preparing for Registration Quick Reference Guide.
- Complete your student onboarding. Onboarding is a series of tasks, including things like updating your contact information and financial aid authorization, that will get you ready for registration. Please don’t wait on this. You cannot register until your onboarding is complete.
- Look up when your registration window opens. In Workday, this is called “Find Registration Appointment.” Go to the menu at the top left of your Workday homepage and select “Academics Hub.” The “Find Registration Appointment” link will be listed in the right column of the page.
- Review and resolve any registration holds. Holds can prevent you from registering. To check if you have any holds, navigate to your profile and then select “Action Items and Holds” from the left-side menu. Alternatively, you can search for “View My Active Holds” in the search bar. You will find information on how to address each hold listed on the hold.
- Meet with your academic advisor or program director. You can view your advisor(s) in the Academics Hub.
**College of Medicine will manually enroll its students in courses.**
Once all of these steps are complete, you are ready to register!
