Here are the key details you need to know about class registration as an incoming first-year student entering Chapman in the fall semester.
- You will be pre-registered (automatically registered) in all or most of your classes. We pre-register first-year students to help make sure you're taking the right classes for a great start in your first semester.
- Some majors are pre-registered in a full-time course load. If your major is one of these, you don't have to register for any classes yourself. You'll be automatically enrolled in a full-time course load (12 or more units) and ready to start your first semester in the fall (unless you want to add additional classes).
- Other majors are only pre-registered in most of their classes. If your major is one of these, you'll need to select accitional classes over the summer to reach a full-time course load (12 or more units). Your advisor will help you with the class selection and registration process over the summer.
- We recommend that you speak with your advisor before dropping or changing any of the classes you are pre-registered in.
Do I need to select classes over the summer, or will I be fully pre-registered in all my classes?
Some majors are fully pre-registered into a full-time course load. If you have one of these majors, you don't need to register for any classes over the summer.
Other majors are only pre-registered into most of their first-semester classes. If you have one of these majors, you will need to register for additional classes over the summer.
Over the summer, your advisor will be in touch with you. They will help you determine your schedule and let you know if you need to register for additional classes yourself.
What is pre-registration?
Pre-registration is when a student is automatically enrolled in classes. As an incoming first-year student at Chapman, you will be pre-registered in all or most of your classes.
How pre-registration works
- You can view the classes you have been pre-registered in by going to your Student Center.
- Go to your Student Center and click on the "Manage Classes" tile.
- Under "Class Schedule" (on the left-hand side), you'll see an option to "View my Classes."
- Click that to see the classes (including dates and times) you've been pre-registered into.
- You will also receive an email when you have been pre-registered into your classes. This happens sometime in May or June.
- If you would like to move to different sections of the courses you are registered in, you will have the opportunity to do so during new student registration in July. All changes are pending section availability.
- If you drop a class that you have been pre-registered into, you cannot be added back in.
