View the Undergraduate Bulletin and our major exploration page to accommodate student absence from campus.
Rounds of registration will occur April 6-12 (Round I) and April 13-19 (Round II). New Times: 9:00 a.m. – 1:oo p.m. EST *View your assigned time in WIN>Virtual Campus>Check your Holds and Registration Status.

Summer Registration will begin April 6.

*Note: Students should be aware that WFU academic regulations apply to remotely delivered courses just as they do to standard courses. Faculty and students can find additional advising resources using our “Planning” tab above.
For full details, carefully read this memo from the Dean of the College sent to all undergraduate students on 10.22.2020. The final date to elect pass/fail is April 17, 2020.
The course withdrawal deadline has been moved to Monday, March 30, 2020 at 5pm.
In lieu of in-person signatures, students wishing to request a course withdrawal (and will remain full-time) must do so by contacting their faculty member and academic adviser. Once the student has received confirmation from both parties (faculty may wish to have more of a discussion with students), the student must then email undergraduateadvising@nullwfu.edu with forwarded email receipts from both their adviser and course instructor.
