Review this page for information about class registration, including registration appointment dates, processes and resources.

Academics Dashboard - a dashboard in Workday that provides information on your academic record, including class standing and any upcoming registration appointments. To access the Academics Dashboard, log in to Workday, select the icon of four squares in the top right of the header or at the bottom of the Quick Tasks section of your home page, and select Academics.

Class Standing - For undergraduates, your class year is based on the number of completed units prior to the current term. Your class standing does not include units in progress:

• First year: 0–29 units
• Second year: 30–59 units
• Third year: 60–89 units
• Fourth year: 90–120 units
• Fifth year (BArch only): 121–159 units

Registration Appointment - an assigned appointment in Workday, at which point your registration window opens, and class registration is available to you. Registration appointments are assigned based on your class standing.

The Spring 2026 Add/Drop period has ended, and students can no longer add classes for the semester. If you have concerns about a class we strongly recommend that you consult with your Academic Advisor to discuss all options, or potential effects of withdrawing. You may also find it helpful to discuss your plan to withdraw with your instructors.

Withdrawing from a class

If you have spoken to your Academic Advisor and have decided to withdraw from a course, you may do so starting Tuesday February 3 until Friday, April 3rd at 11:00pm (Pacific Time). Withdrawing will result in a “W” grade for the course on your transcript. This grade will not affect your GPA.

Please review the section Withdrawing from One or More Courses in the Student Handbook and how withdrawing from courses could affect your full-time status. To withdraw from a course, please follow the Withdraw from course instructions on the Portal.

Taking a leave of absence or college withdrawal

Workday will prevent students withdrawing from all courses. Students who wish to withdraw from all courses are required to meet with their Academic Advisor.

The Summer & Fall 2026 registration period begins on Monday, March 9, 2026 at 8:00 am. Please see the schedules below for Summer 2026 and Fall 2026 for a guide to your registration period for each academic period.

Students are assigned a priority registration appointment based on their current class standing. Once your registration appointment begins, registration will be available to you in Workday. Your assigned registration appointment can be viewed in Workday on the Academics Dashboard.

Students can register and make adjustments to their schedule until the drop deadline for each Academic Period; for Fall 2026, this is on Tuesday, September 15, 2026, at 11:59pm (Pacific Time).

Where can I find my priority registration appointment?

• From your Academics Dashboad, view "Upcoming Registration Appointments".

Why is my registration time different from my friends’/classmates’?

• Appointment times are based on completed units prior to current term. This does not count units in progress.

Where can I view my class standing and my total completed units?

• From your Academics Dashboard, view Latest Class Standing & Expected Completion Date.

Take these steps BEFORE your registration appointment to prepare:
