Course Registration Timeline for Winter 2010

I. Prepare for Course Registration & Course Bidding: October 19 - November 10 (return to top of page)

  1. Review Degree Requirements & Meet with an Advisor: Be sure you're keeping your degree requirements in mind as you head into your final term - review your Academic Requirement Report on Wolverine Access, the degree requirements checklist, and/or make a counseling appointment to review your status. (*Dual Degree students or students completing an LSA Minor may have additional or different requirements than the below. Be sure to check with your advisor!)
    • You must have a minimum of 45 business credits in order to graduate.
    • You must have a minimum of 54 non-business credits (e.g. LS&A, Engineering, approved Kinesiology courses, etc.)
    • Business Law (either LHC 305 or 306) is a core course requirement that may be taken at any time during the BBA program. You will not be pre-enrolled into Business Law at any point in your program, but must complete the requirement in order to graduate.
    • Foreign Language Proficiency for distribution purposes (if you plan to meet one of the BBA distribution requirements with Foreign Language Proficiency): Check your unofficial transcript for notations regarding foreign language. If you have already met foreign language proficiency and it is not yet noted on your unofficial transcript, we need to receive confirmation from the language department. Please request that the language department send confirmation to Academic Services via email: rossacadservices@umich.edu, campus mail: Room E2420, 701 Tappan, or fax: 734-763-8833.
    • Complete 3 of the 4 Distribution Requirements: Foreign Language (4th semester proficiency, see above bullet); Humanities (9 credits); Natural Science and/or MSA (9 credits); Social Science* (9 credits) * Excludes ECON 101 & 102.
  2. Check Your Account for Financial Holds:
    1. Review your Student Account status on Wolverine Access to confirm that no Holds (Service Indicators) are in place which would block your registration into classes. Check even if you are sure your statement is okay!
    2. Clear your bills.
    3. Request Student Financial Operations or the cashier to lift your financial hold. This is not done automatically. Call 734-764-7447.
    4. Inform Academic Services at rossacadservices@umich.edu (before 12 pm on Wednesday, November 25) that your hold has been lifted. If you do not inform Academic Services that your hold has been lifted by this deadline, you will lose all bids.
  3. Review Course Bidding Information:
  4. Review the Schedule of Classes: On Monday, October 19 the Winter 2010 Schedule of Classes will be viewable on Wolverine Access and the Registrar's website. An Excel spreadsheet of the specific Winter 2010 courses that will be included in course bidding is also available.
    • Check prerequisites: You are responsible for meeting the course prerequisites for classes you elect. Check the Course Descriptions thoroughly for course prerequisites and feel free to reach out to an instructor if you have specific questions.
      • If a prerequisite is listed in the system as a "Course" prerequisite, Wolverine Access will NOT allow you to register for the course unless you have completed the requirements in a prior term.*Students who BID for classes for which they do not meet the course prerequisite will NOT be enrolled in that class and will lose their bids for that class. (If you have completed the requirement via waiver, please contact Academic Services for permission to enroll once general registration opens.)
      • If a prerequisite is "Advisory", Wolverine Access will allow you to enroll without having fulfilled the requirement; however, instructors reserve the right to remove you at a later (less convenient) date. Please review prerequisite information CAREFULLY, and contact the instructor/department or Academic Services if you have any questions.
    • Course Load: A normal full-time course load is about 15 credit hours a term, with a maximum of 18 credits. You must select a minimum of 12 credit hours to be a full-time student. Going below 12 credits makes you a part-time student, which may affect financial aid, degree progress, health/auto insurance coverage, and (for international students) immigration status. To register for fewer than 12 credits in a term, you must request approval from Academic Services.
    • Check class dates: We have some new 1.5 elective courses that are condensed into half terms (Winter A or Winter B). As you select courses be sure to review the class notes and dates carefully!
  5. Attend the Course Bidding Workshop for a review of the course bidding system:
    • Monday, November 9, at 4:30 pm in R2210

II. Course Bidding: November 11 - 17 (return to top of page)

  1. BID for classes! Wednesday, November 11 at 10 am through Tuesday, November 17 at 10 am. Do NOT wait until the last minute - students should place their bids well before the 10 am deadline on November 17 to ensure that they are able to access the system and enter their bids successfully. Bids cannot be processed after the system has closed. Be sure to refer to the following pages for instructions/tips on course bidding:
  2. Continue to clear Financial Holds if any still exist.

  3. Backpack additional Ross or non-Ross classes: November 16 through assigned registration appointment time.
  4. Wednesday, November 25 at 12 pm: Deadline to clear Financial Holds and notify Academic Services.

IV. Modify/Finalize Winter Class Schedule: November 30 - January 10 (return to top of page)

  1. Monday, November 30: Registration appointment times begin for undergraduate students. Students will be able to modify their course schedules via Wolverine Access if desired (to add non-business school courses to your schedule, add yourself to waitlists for additional courses, drop courses awarded to you during course bidding, or add additional business courses with open seats).
  2. Add/Drop classes & obtain Permissions for closed classes: View the Registration Calendar as well as the Academic Calendar for the specific drop/add deadlines. After the drop/add deadline, you must have your drop/add form signed by Academic Services, and any drop must be accompanied by a completed Drop Verification Form (available from Academic Services). For more instructions on modifying your schedule and getting permissions for closed classes:
  3. Be aware of Class Attendance Policies: At the discretion of the instructor, students may be dropped from a class if they do not attend the first class meeting for a once-a-week class, or the first two class meetings for a twice-a-week class. Be sure to review the CTools site for each class for additional attendance guidelines.

If you have questions, please feel free to contact our office.
