2. ACCESSING MYWESTERN & WEB4U
ASA begins here, and continues up until the last slide.
Let’s get started by going to Western’s home page at where we will access Web4U to register via your myWestern portal.
Select ‘myWestern,’ then select ‘Sign In.’ Even if you signed in earlier today, you may need to re-enter do so again.

3. UNIVERSAL LOGIN
Log in using your username (first part of your WWU address) and password (which you created).
Make sure all students can log in before moving on.

4. MYWESTERn PorTAL This is your myWestern portal.
As a reminder from here you have:
Access to your (which you should check daily, as it is Western’s official means of communication with you),
And access to Canvas (which is the online component to some of your classes).
2. Select ‘Web4U’ at the top of your myWestern page to prepare for registration.

5. NAVIGATING WEB4U
As a reminder, Web4U is where you can find information about your financial aid, student records, and update your personal information.
For registration, select ‘Student,’ then select ‘Registration.’

6. CHECK YOUR REGISTRATION STATUS
From the registration screen, click on ‘Check Your Registration Status’ to be sure that any holds you may have had earlier are now resolved.
On the next screen, select ‘Fall 2017’ from the drop-down menu and click ‘Submit.’

7. CHECK YOUR REGISTRATION STATUS
This slide has animation to highlight information.
On the ‘Check Your Registration Status’ page you will see information about your earliest opportunity to register. Phase I registration opens at a scheduled time and you may register for up to 17 credits. Phase II of registration started August 29th and allows students to register for up to 20 credits and many departments will remove major restrictions, although prerequisites are still enforced. In your first quarter, we encourage you not to exceed 17 credits.
Click for animation. If you have requested an override and it has been processed, the information will be listed on this page.
Click for animation. Hopefully you all will see 4 green check marks – everyone that has 4 green check marks please raise your hand.
If you don’t have 4 green check marks, scroll down to the bottom of the page and click ‘View Holds.’ After the presentation, raise your hand so an advisor can assist you.

8. WEB4U REGISTRATION MENU
To return to the registration menu, click on the ‘Student’ tab at the top of the page, then select Registration, and then click ‘Add/Drop Classes’ to register. Using the back button on your web browser may cause problems.

9. REGISTRATION PIN INFORMATION
Pin used only for registration during
Fall Advising & Orientation
Needed until 4:30 pm today
At this point in the presentation, you may find it helpful to invite students to turn off their monitors and follow your demonstration of the registration process.
Please focus your attention up here. This is as far as you can go until it is time to register. I will continue to show you what it will look like to register so that you are familiar with the process and can quickly register at the designated time.
You will enter in a ‘registration pin’ which we post for you on the last slide, and at the right time you will click ‘Submit.’
This PIN number is for Fall Advising & Orientation purposes only. You will not need this number to change your schedule after 4:30 pm today or to register for future quarters.

10. STUDENT HEALTH CENTER NOTICE
Read the following in its entirety.
Next, you will see a notice from the Student Health Center. Please read the notice discussing meningitis and then click ‘acknowledge’. Meningitis can cause a life-threatening disease that will closely resemble influenza symptoms and lead to death or permanent disabilities within 48 hours. This notice does not mean that we currently have it on campus, but that there is a higher risk of it spreading while being in close proximity to others, particularly living in the Residence Halls. If you have not already received the meningitis vaccine, or it has been more than five years, you should consider revaccination. The Student Health Center on campus offers the vaccine during the academic quarters for a small fee.

11. ADD/DROP CLASSES
This is the ‘Add/Drop Classes’ page you will use every quarter to register for classes. You will enter your five-digit CRNs for the courses you want to register for into the boxes. Then click ‘Submit Changes.’
You may enter the CRNs for all the classes you wish to register for either separately or all at the same time.
Entering CRNs for multiple sections of the same class will result in an error message.
To register for a FIG you will need to enter all three CRNS together. Please note, if you reserved a spot in a FIG prior, you should have received overrides to register for the FIG during your registration session today.

12. WEB REGISTERED Here is a sample schedule of classes.
Note that ‘Web Registered’ means you are successfully registered for those classes.
You can use the Action drop down box to ‘Web Delete’ if you wish to drop a class.
Confirm your total number of credits and review the course numbers and titles to confirm you are registered for the correct courses.
If you still need to find classes or would like to check on class availability, you may find it helpful to open ClassFinder in another page/tab.

13. REGISTRATION ERRORS
Here is an example of a registration add error—in this case there was a time conflict.
Web4U will not allow you to register for classes when times overlap.
If the error indicates that the class is ‘Closed,’ meaning it is full, you should look to see if another section of that class is available or register for an alternate class. In late August, you will also have the option to add your name to a waitlist which we will cover next.
Other common registration errors occur if you do not have the required prerequisite or if a class is restricted to majors only. If you have other registration add errors, check with an advisor and we can help identify and possibly correct the error.
After you have a full schedule, you can click ‘Week at a Glance’ at the bottom of the page to review your schedule in calendar view.

14. WEEK AT A GLANCE (SCHEDULE)
In order to show the full week of classes, select ‘Next Week’ and then print your schedule.
Raise your hand to have an advisor review your completed schedule.

16. WHAT TO DO AFTER REGISTRATION
WELS Student Survey
Access the
‘Survey of Incoming Freshmen’
via MyWestern
Faculty covers this slide.
Information for making schedule changes is on your Information and Next Steps handout, on the backside of the Registration Waitlist Information. You can make changes to your schedule starting at 4:30pm today.
Once you have registered for your courses, we ask that you please complete a very important 15 minute survey from Western.
The Survey of Incoming Freshmen captures student perceptions of their high school experience, their decision to attend Western, and their expectations for the future. Responses to this survey are used by administrators to measure change over a student’s time at Western, for assessment and accreditation endeavors, and to assess student needs.

17. WELS SURVEY
Faculty covers this slide.
Follow the instructions on screen to begin the survey.
You are free to leave when you are registered and an advisor has seen your schedule and the survey is completed.
Please note that in a few days you will receive an with another equally important survey about your experience here at Fall Advising & Orientation. Please complete this brief survey to help us continue to improve this program.
Have fun and let us know if you have any questions.
