e-Reg: Registering for Courses

Once your advisor reviews your worksheet and approves your course selections, you are now able to pre-register electronically. To pre-register, follow these steps:

  1. Go to WebAdvisor for students and log in
  2. Under Academic Planning, click on Plan Courses

  3. On the Plan Courses page, click View Worksheet

  4. Click submit to confirm your academic program

  5. Your worksheet will be displayed:
    • Courses added by you and approved by your advisor will be listed as added by ‘Student(Advisor approved)’.
    • Courses added by you but not approved by your advisor will be listed as added by ‘Student’. You cannot pre-register for these courses until they are approved. 
    • Courses added by your advisor will be listed as added by ‘Advisor’. Courses added by your advisor are automatically approved.

  6. If you need to make additional changes, you can use the modify link in the upper right of the page.
    • Make edits and submit them to your advisor as you did in the earlier sections of this document.
    • Continue this process until you have a completed worksheet and are ready to pre-register.
  7. There will be a specific time period during which you will be able to pre-register electronically
  8. When ready to pre-register, from your worksheet, click the Register link in the upper right of the page

  9. The next screen allows you to select courses for which to find sections. You can search one course at a time or all at once. Check the courses to search for and click submit.

  10. On the Section Selection Results screen, you can view the sections for each course and choose the ones you wish to register for. Be sure to consider any potential day/time conflicts. Any course for which there are no sections in the term for which you are trying to register will not show.

  11. Once you have selected your sections, click submit
  12. The sections you have chosen will be displayed:
    • If you wish to register for all of the sections, select Register in the top action box.

    • If you wish to register for only one or some of the sections, select register in the action box for each section.

  13. At the bottom of the screen you have two choices: Complete Only Available – will register you for all open courses you selected. Allow me to adjust all – will not register you for any courses if one is not available. This would allow you to adjust all sections if necessary before registering.

  14. After you have made your selections, click Submit.
  15. If your pre-registration was successful, you will be taken to a screen showing you courses in which you are pre-registered. If your pre-registration encountered an error, you will remain on the Registration screen and the reason for your error will appear at the top of the screen in red.

You will receive an e-mail in your Hartwick e-mail to confirm that your registration has been processed.

Once a course has been successfully registered, it cannot be changed through WebAdvisor. It can only be changed by processing the appropriate paperwork through the Office of Advising and Registration. After each successful registration, whether your process is completed or not, you will see a registration results window.

After you have pre-registered for all of your courses, make sure you verify your schedule! Return to the Student Menu in WevAdvisor and click the My class schedule link under Academic Profile. Choose the term in which you pre-registered and click submit. If you encounter an error, return to the registration screen and re-process your registration.

Remember, you can consult with your advisor at any point in the registration process.
