Self-Service: Planning and Registering

Self-Service is replacing WebAdvisor as the tool students will use to plan their coursework and register for classes. You already use Self-Service for managing your Financial Aid, viewing your grades, and other actions.  Now you’ll be able to use this tool for all of your academic needs.

SELF-SERVICE INCLUDES

• an updated and live checklist of all program requirements called My Progress.  It replaces our outdated program evaluation tool.
• an academic planning tool that allows you to plan courses and sections for your entire four years, and view your semester calendar on a scheduling grid.
• a registration system that can clearly display information which will help you prepare for the advising period and registration.

HOW IT WORKS:  PLAN, SEARCH AND REGISTER

The Self-Service Student Planning system encourage you to plan into the future.

• PLAN:   Review My Progress and find courses that will complete requirements.
• SEARCH:   Find courses and sections  to put on your plan.  Note that Sections are iterations of Courses that have assigned semesters, dates and times.
  • Courses can be added to any semester in your plan, and can be used at a later date to find available sections. Keep in mind that there is no guarantee that a specific course section will be offered. Check section listings for a specific term as schedules become available.  
  • Sections  (scheduled courses) are only available for the upcoming academic year.
• REGISTER:   Use the sections you’ve placed on your schedule to register during your assigned registration time.  Note that a section must be planned on your schedule in order to register.
