Registration

Step 1:  Review the Course Schedule

The courses available for Fall 2020 and Summer 2020 registration are now viewable in Student Planning.  See, "Accessing and Using Student Planning" below.

Meet with your Faculty Advisor to discuss your fall courses. All students are strongly encouraged to meet (virtually) with their Faculty Advisor to discuss fall course planning. You can find your Faculty Advisor's contact information in Student Planning.  

Still unsure about your major or what classes to take?  No problem at all—you're not alone! Just fill out this quick form to tell us a little bit about your major/career exploration questions and we can direct you to people who can help. 

Step 2:  Check for Holds on Your Registration

Some students will encounter registration holds on their records.  These holds will prevent you from registering and could be because you need to contact Student Accounts or haven't provided us with your immunization records.  You will see a notice in Student Planning if you have a registration hold. All holds will be placed on records by Wednesday, March 25, 2020. 

Step 3: Find Your Registration Window

Your registration window is the date and time when registration is open to you. In WebAdvisor, click on "My Registration Window" under Registration to see when your window opens.  In Student Planning, you will see your registration window displayed as a banner under the schedule tab. If you logged into Student Planning prior to Spring Break, you may have noticed a different registration window time.  Since the College made the decision to change our registration dates for Summer and Fall 2020, registration windows for all students have been reset.   

Step 4: Select your Fall 2020 Courses and Click Register

• For step-by-step instructions on how to register for your classes, see the menu item below, "Accessing and Using Student Planning"
• Some of our courses may have additional fees associated with them and/or you may need instructor consent to register for these courses.  Some sections have specific designations: SIS–Social Impact Scholar, SL–Service Learning and TVL–Travel.
• Waitlist Info: 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.

 Additional Reminders:

• Study Abroad Students:  Any student that has been approved by the Office of International Education to study in Montreal or Dublin for Fall 2020 must register for classes on the Burlington Campus.  This is a change from when you were approved to go abroad. Travel restrictions are still currently in place and it is in the student's best interest to register for Burlington Campus courses for Fall 2020. 

• Contact Us with Questions: Still have questions?  Contact your Academic Specialist to set up an appointment to meet, or call or email. 

• Financial Aid Reminder: Please note that you may not be eligible for Federal Financial Aid if you register for courses that are not applicable to your degree program requirements.  If you have any questions or concerns about this please don't hesitate to reach out to your Academic Specialist.

Student Planning is a tool that allows you to plan out your courses for your entire Champlain College career; to review your plans with your Faculty Advisor and have them approved; and to register for your courses. It can also be used to plan courses in a weekly schedule 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. Your Academic Specialist in the Registrar's Office is available to review the Student Planning module with you and answer any questions you have.

Detailed instructions for using Student Planning are provided below. To see a visual representation of each step, review the How to Use Student Planning to Register Guide.

3. Remove courses from your plan by clicking on the "x" next to the course on your timeline
4. View the course description and change the term that you plan to take by clicking on the course in the timeline
5. Add courses to your plan in two ways:

   • Option B: Go directly to the "Course Catalog" tab.
     • Search for specific subject codes or click on one in the list. Note: Only select 3-letter subject codes, the 4-letter codes are for students in the Continuing Professional Studies programs (i.e. choose the ACC code for Accounting Courses, not the ACCT courses).
     • Click on the subject code you are looking for, then filter your choices and add courses to your plan
6. Please Remember: Once you have planned your courses, you may need to have your plan approved by your Faculty Advisor in order to register. You will want to meet them as soon as possible to go over your choices, so that you will have no issues registering when your registration window opens.

To Choose and Register for Sections:

1. To choose the specific sections of your courses that you would like to register for, go to the "Plan & Schedule" tab again, and make sure that you are looking at the upcoming term. (i.e. for Spring 2021 registration make sure that you are looking at the 2021 Spring Semester calendar)
2. On the left, the courses that you have planned will be listed. Click on "View Other Sections" to see your section choices for the term
3. Click on the section that you want to add to your schedule.  If you are certain that this is the course that you want, click "Add Section to Schedule". It will now show as planned on the left.
4. Once you have planned your sections and your Registration Window has opened, you are ready to register. You can attempt to register for all of your courses at the same time by clicking on the "Register Now" button, or individually by clicking on the "Register" button on each course.
