Spring/summer priority registration begins Feb. 8; advising appointments available

Priority registration for spring/summer Wayne State University classes begins Monday, Feb. 8, and Mike Ilitch School of Business undergraduates are encouraged to meet with an academic advisor as soon as possible in preparation. Appointments are available at WSU’s main campus in Midtown Detroit, as well as the university’s extension centers in Farmington Hills, Clinton Township and Livonia.

A complete list of extension center advising dates for business undergraduates is available on the WSU events calendar.

Walk-in advising is also available in the Ilitch School of Business Office of Undergraduate Student Services every Tuesday from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m.

About priority registration

The staggered priority registration schedule grants registration access by class standing throughout the week of Feb. 8-12, allowing upper-level students to register for the courses they need to complete their degree requirements before those classes reach their enrollment limits. The process is designed to reduce time to graduation and enhance connectivity to the online registration system.

Priority registration is cumulative, meaning that once students have reached their assigned day for registration, they can continue registering on subsequent days as well.

Spring/summer 2016 priority registration schedule:

  • Graduate students: Monday, Feb. 8, 7 a.m.-midnight
  • Seniors (88+ credits): Tuesday, Feb. 9, 7 a.m.-midnight
  • Juniors (56-87 credits) and APEX Scholars: Wednesday, Feb. 10, 7 a.m.-midnight
  • Sophomores (29-55 credits): Thursday, Feb. 11, 7 a.m.-midnight
  • Freshmen (0-28 credits) and post-baccalaureates: Friday, Feb. 12, 7 a.m.-midnight

Class standing (senior, junior, sophomore or freshman) is based on the number of credit hours a student has completed at the time of registration. Class standing does not include course credits a student is currently taking but has not yet completed.

Students will need to resolve any financial aid issues before registering for courses.

Registration continues through May 8 for spring courses and through June 28 for summer courses.
