Course Registration

Before you start to register, you should plan your schedule. Consult the “Academic Planning Guide” and the other advising materials available in the EagleLink portal. You might also want to consult the Academic Catalog for 2009-2010, also available at the EagleLink portal. If you have questions about schedule planning or course scheduling, contact the Academic Services Office at advise@umw.edu or call 540-654-1010.

To register, first login to the EagleLink portal, and then select the tab for “academics.” The option under registration tools labeled “add or drop classes” is the one you want in order to build your schedule. You will be able to use this option only during the time that your registration window is open. The “open class list” and the “search for classes” tools will help you find courses you may want to put on your schedule, and these resources are available at any time.

When you have completed your schedule, remember to print a copy of it for your records. Use the option labeled “view and print course schedule” for this purpose.

Once your registration window closes, you will not be able to alter your schedule until the schedule adjustment period, which starts on Monday, July 15 at 8 a.m. and ends at 11:59 p.m. on Thursday, July 31. Once schedule adjustment ends, you will not be able to change your schedule again until the add/drop period, which begins on Monday, August 17.

Even though the online registration window will stay open in the evenings, please keep in mind that the offices that support course registration (such as the Academic Services Office, and the Office of the Registrar) usually close at 5 p.m.
