The registration process
1. Consult the university catalog under which you enrolled. Catalogs are available at www.bradley.edu/pubs/publications.html. Check the all-university requirements and specific college and degree requirements for your major. See the advising checklist.
2. See your advisor for help planning your class schedule.
Note: The following groups of students will not be allowed to register until they see their advisor:
3. Use Webster the online registration system to register for classes. Log in at webster.bradley.edu using your BUnetID. On-screen messages will guide you and help you identify any special conditions for specific sections. For reserved courses contact the department offering the course. Identify alternate sections in case your preferred sections are full. After your original registration you may add and drop courses using Webster.
4. Know your billing and payment deadlines. When you receive your class schedule and bill in the mail read it carefully. Your bill contains important billing and payment deadlines. Please note: if you register after December 6 for January Interim or after January 4 for Spring, no bill will be mailed. You must call and request a bill from the Controller’s Office.
Waitlists
For spring and fall semester early registration, Webster will offer the "waitlist" option for closed classes. As additional spaces become available in closed classes students will be added to those classes in the order in which they were added to the waitlist. Webster will show the classes for which you are waitlisted in pink.
The waitlist is active only during Early Registration, November 1-8, for the Spring 2008 semester. The total of classes registered for and on waitlists may not exceed 18 semester hours. Waitlists are not maintained for interims or summer sessions.
January Interim course load
Students may enroll in a maximum of four semester hours of coursework in the January Interim. Overloads are seldom granted in the January Interim because of the intensity of the courses. Such requests however need to be made in advance to the dean of your college.
Immunization requirement
Federal law requires you to file evidence of immunization against disease before you enroll. You may get the required form at the Health Center in Heitz Hall, the Visitors Center, or the Graduate School in Bradley Hall Room 200 or online.
