6. After you click Submit, the "Save Successful" message will display when you have submitted changes successfully. You may submit classes one at a time or several at a time. Final summary of classes will then display.

You may only be added to the waitlist if the class you want is closed. On Porches-FSS under “Search and Register for Classes” next to each class section are the following descriptions:

• CAP - Maximum number of students allowed in the class
• ACT - Number of students currently registered in the class
• REM - Number of seats remaining in the class
• WL Cap - Number of students that will be allowed on the waitlist
• WL Act - Number of students on the waitlist
• WL Rem - Number of waitlist spots remaining

If you want to be added to the waitlist for a class that is closed, do the following:

1. Make a note of the CRN(course registration number) of the section you want.
2. Select "Add or Drop classes" from the main registration menu.
3. Enter the CRN of the section you want.
4. Click "Submit Changes".
5. Select "Waitlist" from the drop-down in the Action column.
6. Click "Submit Changes".

If a seat opens in a class and you are on the waitlist, you will receive an email with instructions. You will have only 24 hours to register for this seat (THIS INCLUDES WEEKENDS). If you do not take action within 24 hours, the seat will be offered to the next student on the waitlist.  If you are registered for 18 credit hours, you will need to drop a course before you will be permitted to add the new class.

Being on the waitlist DOES NOT mean you will get a seat in the class.  It only means that if someone drops the class you may have an opportunity to get that open seat.  You should always try to find alternative sections or classes to ensure that you have a full schedule. 

If other sections of a class you are waiting for are open and fit with your schedule, then you will not be added into a closed class, even if you are on the waitlist.  

Waitlists are prioritized based upon graduating students, senior standing students, juniors, etc. that need more hours, etc.  The waitlist will be prioritized, so just because you take the first waitlist spot does not mean that you will get the first seat that opens.

Undergraduate

Undergraduate students who wish to take graduate courses for graduate credit must consult with Flyer Student Services to determine financial aid implications and cost options. This must be done by the last day to complete registration (i.e., Friday before the first day of class) each semester or the courses will, by default, forever be applied only to the undergraduate degree. That is, if required consultations with Flyer Student Services do not take place before the first day of class, then under no circumstances may graduate courses taken by undergraduates count toward a later graduate degree.

Conversion to graduate credit will be made by Flyer Student Services personnel only after the required consultations have taken place. Under no circumstances may faculty or departmental/dean’s office staff enroll a student in a course for credit outside of their degree level.

Undergraduate students should work with their advisor to begin the process if they wish to take a graduate course for graduate credit.

Graduate

Master's students who wish to take graduate courses for doctoral credit must first consult with Flyer Student Services. This must be done by the last day to complete registration (i.e., Friday before the first day of class) each semester or the courses will, by default, forever be applied only to the master's degree. That is, if required consultations with Flyer Student Services do not take place before the first day of class, then under no circumstances may graduate courses taken by master's students count toward a later doctoral degree at UD.

Conversion to doctoral credit will be made by Flyer Student Services personnel only after the required consultations have taken place. Under no circumstances may faculty or departmental/dean’s office staff enroll a student in a course for credit outside of their degree level.

Graduate students should work with their advisor to begin the process if they wish to take a graduate course for doctoral credit.

Academic Advisors are a key resource for all of your academic needs. Please make sure to consult with your Academic Advisor prior to registering to help make decisions about your major/minor/concentration, check on your degree progression, and to help to make decisions related to course selections and needs.

After you’ve discussed your plans with your advisor, your advisor will give you an “Advisor Approval Code” (also known as your registration pin) which you will need to complete your registration.

You must clear all holds before registration will be permitted. If you have a HOLD on your account, please contact the department listed on the Hold Description.

Note: This is not a comprehensive list of holds. These are only some of the most common holds students typically have on their accounts.

If you have transfer credit, make sure it has been posted to your record by checking your unofficial transcript or on your degree audit through Degreeworks. If the credit is not posted, please email transfercreditoffice@udayton.edu and a Transfer Credit Office staff member will investigate this issue.

Deadlines for submission of transcript to the Registrar's office are:

• September 15 - Hours to be considered for Spring registration (registration time ticket assigned during Fall semester)
• February 15 - Hours to be considered for Summer and Fall registration (registration time ticket assigned during Spring semester)

Review information related to registration restrictions and error messages prior to your registration time.  

Be aware that some courses are not available for students to add on their own during the registration period.  These could include Independent Studies, workshops, studio courses and internships/professional practicums. If you encounter a registration error or are unable to register for a class through “Service and Register for Courses” on your own, please refer to the add a course instructions.

Make sure to review all course information for course prerequisites or other restrictions. Restrictions remain on unless the Academic Department removes them.  Please review the common registration error message that may appear on a course.

Note: Please follow the step-by-step instructions for adding and dropping classes. 

Make sure to review your Degreeworks degree audit to ensure you are on track towards graduation and degree completion. The DegreeWorks degree evaluation tool is designed to assist advisors and students with course planning, measuring progress toward degree completion, and curriculum advising.

The degree evaluation is based on catalog term and indicates degree requirement conditions that are “met” and “not met” by analyzing a student’s grades and GPA, credit hours, and completed course work.

Student are responsible for monitoring their own progress in completing requirements for graduation. Drop/adds made without discussion with your advisor which may result in non-fulfillment of requirements will not be corrected by substitutions and waivers.
