First-Semester Course Selection

All incoming first-year students will complete a course request process for planning their first semester courses.  The course request process is administered through a website.  Students will receive further information and instructions during a spring orientation weekend or later date.

1. The Academic Advising Center provides an informational folder with instructions during spring orientation weekends.  Students who are unable to participate in a spring orientation weekend will receive the information folder through the mail in late April. 
2. Incoming students only have access to login to the website AFTER the enrollment deposit has been paid.  Students should allow 4-5 days for processing the enrollment deposit before attempting to login to the course request website.  
3. The Course Request Forms, which indicate course selections, should be submitted through the aforementioned website prior to June 1^st. 
4. Once Course Request Forms are submitted, they are emailed to the student and the Academic Advising Center as pdf files.  The files are sent to the email address that the student indicates on the forms.

During the summer an academic advisor reviews each student's Course Request Forms and finalizes fall semester schedules.  The advisor reviews transfer, AP and IB credits prior to finalizing schedules.  Once the schedule is finalized and tuition paid, students will receive an email with information about how to view fall schedules.  This is the only time that someone else will complete student registration.  During all other semesters, students and academic advisors collaborate and discuss course selection and students preregister themselves using Elon's OnTrack system.
