Registration for on-campus students occurs twice per year: once in the fall semester and once in the spring semester. On-campus students work with their faculty advisor and academic specialist to register for classes through the Student Planning module in Self Service. Instructions for Student Planning are found below.
Registration for Champlain College Online and Graduate students occurs multiple times throughout the year, depending on which term a student is registering for. Online students will work with their Academic Advisor to plan and register for classes.
Students can refer to the College's Academic Calendars for registration dates.

Students with a hold would see this information in the Student Planning module of Self Service.

You can also view your semester schedule in a calendar format. If you are considering changing your major, you may "View a New Major" and see the degree requirements for the program you are interested in.

Adding your name to the waitlist of a section is a great way to indicate that you're interested in the class if room becomes available, but enrollment is not guaranteed. Please register for an available second-choice section which you can drop later if your first-choice becomes available.
Students will receive an email if they are offered a spot in a waitlisted class. Students have 24 hours to register for the class before the spot is offered to the next student.
