Thinking about adding a course?

If students want to visit in-person classes they are considering for their schedule but are not yet enrolled, they should email the instructor for permission (in case the classroom space has capacity limits). If you don't hear back, it is okay to attend the class at the date/time/location listed in Workday.

What is the "add" period?

Time is running short to add new courses or make changes to your schedule. Students may add courses to their Fall 2026 semester schedule in Workday until Wednesday, September 9th.
