How to Register for Classes in Workday

This guide walks you through how to register for classes in Workday using your academic plan. You'll learn how to navigate from your dashboard to your academic plan, select course sections, submit your registration, and review or edit your enrolled courses afterward.

Prerequisites

Before registering, make sure you have created an academic plan. If you're unsure whether your academic plan is set up, review the guide on creating an academic plan or consult your advisor. Keep in mind that your academic plan is a planning tool only—it does not automatically register you for courses.

On the View My Courses page, confirm your program and term (for example, Associate of Arts Major (A.A.), Fall 2023). Review the list of your enrolled courses under My Enrolled Courses. Each course displays:

If you need to change your registration—add, drop, or swap courses—click the Edit Registration button at the top of the View My Courses page. This option is only available during the active registration period. Follow the prompts to make changes to your course selections as needed.

Confirm registration completion

Once you've finalized your registration, you'll see a confirmation message indicating that your registration is complete. Your enrolled courses remain visible on the View My Courses page for future reference.
