Registration

Registration is accomplished by using the online Registration Request.

Use this for any issue that you may encounter in Wiser. This includes ‘permissions’  or attempting to register for MBAMGT 689 Strategic Management.

Priority is given to requests submitted this way, and are addressed within 24-48 hours (often sooner) during open registration. This is the most effective and efficient way to submit a request for help with registration. Find more details on the Registration and Helpful Links page.


Course Schedule Information
You can view the Course Catalog to see course listings for the upcoming semester.
On the left hand side of the page, look under the heading   Course Wizard,
Select the  Semester  you would like to search,
Then under  Graduate Subjects  look for:
MBAMGT [Management Courses]
MBA AF    [Accounting and Finance Courses]
MBAMKT  [Marketing Courses]
MSIS           [Management Information Science (MSIT & MSBA) Courses]
MBAMS     [Management Science Courses]

PLEASE NOTE: Changes may occur to posted schedule

Changes to the schedule can occur prior to the start of open registration, so be sure to check back for any updates.


Enrollment Dates:
The registration period for Spring 2018 will begin on November 6th. Each student will be assigned an Enrollment date, based on total number of credits completed. This can be found in Wiser under Enrollment. Those with a higher number of completed credits will have access to register early in the week. Those with fewer completed credits will have access later in the week.
Please keep this in mind when submitting registration requests.

Check for HOLDS in Wiser:

Now is a good time to log into Wiser and check to see if there are any holds on your account. Holds will prevent any registration action, until resolved, and some can take time to be resolved.
Some common holds can be :
Immunization Hold [Contact University Health Services ]
Emergency Contact Hold [Can be updated in Wiser by student]
Past Due Balance Hold [Contact the Bursar’s Office or One Stop]

We hope you find this to be a helpful registration guide!
