Web Registration

  1. Get familiar with the HWS PeopleSoft Website from the Registrar’s Office home page and review the several web services available to you.
  2. Go to your Student Center and check for holds.
  3. Review the section titled “Enrollment Dates” and note there are two appointment times listed. You will have a “Shopping Cart Appointment” and an “Enrollment Appointment” which is specific to your entry class/year level. Use the “Shopping Cart Appointment” process as a registration planning tool. This functionality allows you to select your course preferences and check for time conflicts, required prerequisites, permission only classes and course repeats prior to actual registration time.
  4. Schedule an appointment with your primary adviser during Advising Week, April 1-5, 2013 to be advised for classes and have the adviser hold removed by your primary adviser to be authorized for registration. All on-campus students must have adviser hold released by their primary adviser at the completion of scheduled advising session in order to begin loading the shopping cart and validating course selections via the Student Center prior to assigned enrollment appointment time. This is very important! Students participating in HWS domestic and abroad programs must contact their adviser to be advised for classes; however the adviser hold will not be applied.
  5. During April 1-5, 2013 begin loading your shopping cart after the adviser hold has been released. Go to your Student Center, click on “plan” and begin loading your shopping cart with your course preferences. Once you’ve loaded your shopping cart, click the “validate” button at bottom of page to validate your course selections. The "validate" function checks the selected shopping cart courses for availability, time conflict and prerequisites before you actually register for classes. Run this process prior to your actual enrollment appointment time to optimize registration processing time. Please note you are not officially enrolled until you register for the classes in your shopping cart during your assigned enrollment appointment period. Be sure to check prerequisites in Schedule of Classes posted on the Registrar’s web page.
  6. Each class will have TWO DAYS ONLY to early register for classes. Registration begins at 7:00 a.m. according to the registration schedule below:

    STUDENT YR. LEVEL/CLASS
    Students who have had a year level classification change will still be allowed to register with their entry class. Check your registration appointment time in your PeopleSoft Student Center.

All students will have a second opportunity to register for classes during the open enrollment period which begins on April 18, 2013 and ends on May 24, 2013. REMEMBER - advising is required as part of course registration. You will not be able to register before the designated registration period for your class. Web-registration begins at 7:00 a.m. on the first day of your scheduled registration period (by year level/classification) and is available 24 hours/day during this time period. If you get a delay of greater than 5 minutes after you press the “finish enroll” button, contact the Help Desk at 781-4357 or the Registrar’s Office at 781-3651. Do not get discouraged. Just keep trying. At the completion of your registration, you will be asked to take an on line survey. The survey is designed to provide us with feedback on your registration experience. Your views are very important to us. The information from the survey is used to improve the quality of our registration services.

There is no notice of enrollment, so check your student center frequently. It is recommended that you enroll in 3-4 courses and waitlist on your preferred class by using the "swap" option to choose a class you want to drop in its place. You will not be automatically enrolled in the class until the system verifies all enrollment eligibility requirements (such as prerequisites are met, no time conflicts, appropriate lab selected, possible instructor consent needed) have been met.
