Holds
If you have holds or get a Registration Error, these messages will appear in the upper right hand corner of the screen. You may need to contact your academic advisor for assistance
Waitlisting
If the class you are wanting to register for is full (closed) and has a waitlist option, see How do I get into a closed class (waitlist)? for more information.
Unable to register
If you are unable to register, see Why can't I register/enroll for a class? for common registration issues.
After the Deadline
If the course you wish to enroll in has already started and it is past the last day to add a class (usually one week for a full-term class), adding a class can no longer be done electronically. You will need to email the instructor of the class you wish to add and copy (cc) registration@wichita.edu on the email requesting permission to late add the class. The instructor must respond with their approval for you to be enrolled. If you wish to drop and add a class, this needs to be done at the same time to avoid financial penalty.
International Students
After you arrive in Wichita and have checked in with the Office of International Education, you will be given instructions on how to register for classes.
Important note for all students:
After the period to add courses online has ended, all drop and add transactions must be submitted together to avoid financial penalty. Any withdrawal from a course(s) may have an impact on your financial aid and/or visa status. You are strongly urged to consult with financial aid and your academic advisor prior to dropping and/or adding a class or classes.
