It is time to start to get ready for fall course registration. Take a moment to watch this short video<\/a> about what to expect and important next steps to be ready to register for your classes.<\/p>\n

After watching the video, please make sure to read the rest of this e-mail carefully as it<\/u> contains a lot of important information about the registration process.<\/u><\/p>\n

Fall Course Registration Process<\/strong><\/p>\n

Course registration opens for new students with priority course registration on Monday, June 27 at 12:00 p.m. (Noon) EDT. Course registration opens for all new students on Tuesday, July 28 at 12:00 p.m. (Noon) EDT <\/strong>and will be open through July 31 at 5:00 PM. Registration into courses is first-come, first-served, so it is best to try to register for courses as early on your registration date as you can.<\/p>\n

Your next step is to search for courses and create a saved schedule<\/strong>. On registration day, you can access your saved schedule and register for multiple courses at once from the schedule. You can also register for courses one at a time.<\/p>\n

As you heard in the video, as you work to create your saved schedule, make sure to consider alternative course options that you may have discussed with your Summer Advisor. You might not get your ideal schedule on your first attempt and it may be possible that one of the classes you were hoping to take this semester filled up before you could register for it. Do not panic as this is completely normal. Plan for alternative options using the General Education Requirements to keep you on track for graduation. Summer Advisors will be available to answer questions you have about alternate courses via e-mail on the afternoon of July 28 (12:00 PM-5:00 PM EDT).<\/p>\n

To create your saved schedule<\/strong>, you should log into Workday and complete the following steps (if you have any difficulty logging into Workday, please contact the ITS Service Center at 864-294-3277 or via email at service.center@furman.edu<\/a>):<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Review Advisor Notes from your Summer Advising Session<\/a>.<\/li>\n
  2. Locate your Language Placement, AP Scores, and Transfer Credit in Workday.<\/a><\/li>\n
  3. Find Your Assigned FYW<\/a>. You will be placed into an FYW and do not need to include this course on your saved schedule since you have already been pre-registered for that course. Please note that if you check and do not see an FYW on your schedule, it means that you have not yet been assigned to one. Our Writing Programs Director is working to assign all new students to an FYW either during the fall or spring semester. If you have yet to be assigned to one, do not panic as it most likely means you will be assigned to an FYW for the spring semester. Go ahead and create a saved schedule based on needing to take four other classes for the fall semester. Our Writing Programs Director will follow up with more information for you soon.<\/li>\n
  4. Find Your Assigned Pathways Class in Workday<\/span>. To view this information, follow the instructions for finding your assigned FYW above. You will be placed into your Pathways class and do not need to include this course on your saved schedule since you have already been pre-registered for that course.<\/li>\n
  5. Find Course Listings<\/a> to identify a set of appropriate courses based on what you discussed with your advisor. Be mindful of your language placement and the time of your assigned FYW as you build your schedule.<\/li>\n
  6. Create a Saved Schedule<\/a> that includes the courses for which you would like to register. You can create multiple schedules if you would like \u2013 just be sure to create meaningful names for them so you know which is which (e.g., Fall 2026 – first choices, Fall 2026 \u2013 back up plan).<\/li>\n
  7. Check for holds<\/a>\u00a0and resolve them if needed or you may not be able to register for your classes. Instructions for who to contact and\/or how to resolve the specific hold will be found in the resolution instructions to the right of the hold in Workday.<\/li>\n
  8. Be Ready to Register from your Saved Schedule on July 28 beginning at 12:00 PM EDT!<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Note: You might notice that a \u201cNew Student Holding Course for Billing\u201d is currently sitting on your course schedule in Workday. This is a placeholder that is used to generate student bills prior to course registration. It will automatically drop off your schedule once you register so there is nothing you need to do.<\/p>\n
