Process
During each of the four days of online registration, students attending classes on campus this fall will be divided into three registration groups based on anticipated graduation class year. Each group has a designated time to register on the four days of registration: November 12, 13, 14, 15. (see timetable below)
Continuing students currently studying off campus or on a vacation term register online on November 9, 10, and 11.
During the week of October 21, each registration-eligible student will be notified by the Registrar via their Beloit email account about their class year and designated registration time.
Check the Courses/Registration window in the Portal before online registration begins to make sure your advisor has cleared you to register; there will be a message in the middle of the window telling you if you’ve not been cleared.
Advising
A student must get approval from their major advisor (or if “undeclared”, from an FYI, Spark, Transfer, or Exchange advisor) in order to enroll in classes during online registration in November. First-years and sophomores who have declared a major may be cleared for registration by either their FYI, Spark, or major advisor. So, schedule a meeting with an advisor no later than November 8!
Off-Campus Students: Returning from Study Abroad or Vacation Term
Students returning from off-campus are encouraged to email their advisors as soon as possible to be cleared in time for their earlier registration period. Students can register at any time during this period.
If you think you may have a problem connecting to the Portal from your remote location, then email a prioritized list of your course selections to the Registrar’s Office (registrar@beloit.edu) before registration begins. Registrar’s Office staff will take care of registering you for courses.
On-Campus Students
Students currently on-campus sign up for courses over four days. Students are encouraged to prioritize their primary course selections, and backup courses, in advance.

Online Registration & Add/Drop Period
If you did not get a satisfactory or full schedule (minimum of 3 units required for full-time enrollment) during the initial online registration phase, you should make changes/adjustments in your schedule before the end of the semester.
If you are intending to be full-time for the Spring semester, make sure you are registered for at least 3.00 units before you leave for winter break.
You may make schedule changes when you return in January, but we encourage you to finalize your schedule as much as possible before winter break. No student may enroll in more than 4.75 units until the first class day of the term. See course overload policy.
If you are off-campus and need to make changes in your schedule during the online add/drop period, you can do that yourself, or you can contact registrar@beloit.edu for assistance.
Additional Frequently Asked Questions
Ask the professor to “authorize” your enrollment in the Portal, which will then enable you to register yourself. During online registration, you can add the course with the override, or if you waitlisted yourself, you can go to courses/registration in the Portal and convert your waitlisted status to enrolled. You do that either by clicking on the “move to current” message next to the waitlisted course, or, if that message doesn’t appear, then drop the course and re-add it (the authorization will allow you to do that.)
You can add yourself to the waitlist for the course, in case space in the course becomes available. If the instructor authorizes you to join, you still need to add yourself to the course.
You cannot do that online. You must complete a Special Project Contract form for a special project, an Internship Registration form for an internship, or an add/drop card to register for TA credit. The first two forms are available online or in the Registrar’s Office. The add/drop card is only available in the Registrar’s Office.
You should register for the appropriate “SAB” (study abroad) or “OFFC” (domestic) program. You will have to wait until the 3rd day of registration when the unit cap goes up to 3.00 units to enroll in your program.
Some “SAB” programs require enrollment in the corresponding IDST 288 (Cities in Transition) course as well.
If your plans change, promptly notify the Office of International Education and email registrar@beloit.edu.
Contact the Dean of Students Office deanstu@beloit.edu to schedule an exit interview.
Some courses are listed in more than one way (from 2-4 different ways), e.g. Intro to Literary Study may be listed both as ENGL 190 and CPLT 190. These are called crosslisted courses. You can sign up for the course either way, but to see the combined total enrollment in the course, click on the course code link for course details; right below the description is information about the enrollment, including waitlist count. The “parent” course controls the combined total enrollment. Both the “parent” and “child” courses show as “full” once the parent cap has been reached.
