We’d like you to pause in your academic planning so we can show you a brief presentation on how to register for classes.
Now we are going to take you through the registration process step-by-step. Pay attention, because we will show you snapshots of what the process looks like so you are ready when it is time for you to register at 12:40.

2. PHASES OF REGISTRATION
Faculty covers this slide.
At Western there are a few different phases to registration that are important to review with you.
At Winter Advising & Orientation we help you learn how to review your academic plans in order to prepare for and register for classes. After today, you will register on your own at any computer by navigating Web4U as we will demonstrate.
Prepare for registration each quarter by checking your specific registration time in Web4U. It’s also helpful to review your academic goals and next steps with coursework to keep moving forward. The Viking Advisor has Tips for Developing a Balanced Schedule (p. 46). Remember to create several possible class schedules.
Phase I marks the beginning of registration for continuing students and the access time is based on the number of completed credits. During Phase I students may register for up to 18 credits.
Phase II of registration allows for online schedule changes and registration for up to 20 credits. Note that some departments remove restrictions on courses at the start of Phase II.
Phase III starts the first day of the quarter and ends at midnight on the fifth day of the quarter. Schedule changes may be completed online, but the waitlist notification time is reduced. Please note that waitlisting for courses concludes with the end of Phase III.
Beyond Phase III, schedule changes (either adding or dropping a class) should be carefully considered and must be done in person at the Registrar’s Office in Old Main 230.

3. UNIVERSAL LOGIN
ASA begins here, and continues up until the last slide.
Make sure all students can log in before moving on.
During the advising session, everyone logged into myWestern. If you are inactive for enough time, you may need to log in again.
Log in using your username (first part of your WWU address) and password (which you created).

4. myWESTERn PorTAL
From myWestern, 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 to update your personal information.
For registration, select ‘Student,’ then select ‘Registration.’
This is as far as students can go until registration opens at 12:40. Invite students to turn off their computer monitors so they can focus up front to learn how to navigate the registration system.

6. WEB4U REGISTRATION MENU
Click ‘Add/Drop Classes’. Then, select ‘Winter 2019’ from the drop-down menu and click ‘Submit.’
Using the back button on your web browser may cause problems.

7. STUDENT HEALTH CENTER NOTICE
ASAs 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’. This notice includes information that 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.

8. 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.

9. 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.

10. 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. As you register, 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.

11. WEEK AT A GLANCE (SCHEDULE)
In order to show the full week of classes, select ‘Next Week’ and then print your schedule.
