Step-by-Step Guide to Registration

Step 1:  Prepare for Registration 

• Make sure you meet the eligibility requirements for enrolling.
• Check the Registration Timeline to ensure registration is open.
• Note the following:

Registration and Payments
All registration and payments must be done online using the steps below.  Plan Ahead: 

• • Some advising offices are open for appointments only on Monday and Tuesdays after 5:00 pm
  • Offices are closed on major holidays.
  • You will need your Shocker ID Card or other photo identification to do business in-person.

Foundation Courses / 48 Hour Requirement
The University’s General Education Program requires undergraduates enrolled in a Wichita State University bachelor’s degree program to complete the following four courses with a grade of “C-” or better within the first 48 credits earned toward their degree:

ENGL 101 and 102
COMM 111
MATH 111, 112, 131, 211 or equivalent

Corequisites and Linked Classes
Some courses have a corequisite course (another course that must be taken during the same semester).  Corequisites and Linked classes must be registered for at the same time as the accompanying course.

Prerequisites
Many courses have a prerequisite (another course or courses that must be completed before that course can be taken).  To determine if a course you want has a prerequisite, access the desired course in the online schedule, click on the Title of that course then the Prerequisites button.  You will be allowed to enroll in the course you want in the semester following the semester you complete the prerequisite(s).  Only the department offering the course may electronically waive the required prerequisite(s).

Waitlisting
Some classes offer a waitlist option when they fill up.  Being on a waitlist does NOT guarantee that you will get into that class.  You cannot be on the waitlist for a section of a course if you are already enrolled in a different section of that same course. Additional Waitlisting Information

Audit Credit
Students are permitted in credit courses on a non-credit basis with appropriate approval under an auditor classification.  To be enrolled as an auditor, students must enroll in-person and pay the same fees as for credit courses at the university.  Auditors may participate fully in the class and expect instructor evaluation of their work.  Auditors are expected to attend class regularly.  The audited course will appear on the transcript with the grade notation of AU.  Enrolling for AUDIT credit can only be done in person at the Registration Window, 102 Jardine Hall.
