Vancouver Campus Registration
Register for classes using Self-Service
All registrations for returning students must be done using Self-Service. Please check your FDU email regularly since you will receive further details each term on how to use Self-Service and Registration deadlines. Please note that a full-time load during Winter and Fall terms is 12 credits for Undergraduate students and 9 credits for Master students. During Summer term a full-time load is 9 credits for both undergraduate and graduate students. However, summer terms are not mandatory.
New Students
Registration for new students at the Vancouver Campus will take place during registration period. Following placement testing, students will be registered for classes by the Enrollment Services office.
Continuing Students
Continuing students receive advanced registration privileges. This advanced registration begins in March for the summer term, June for the fall term and November for the winter term. Registration priority is based upon credit hours earned, with those closest to graduation receiving the highest priority. Students can register directly online through Self-Service.
Detailed course information and course descriptions are available on Self-Service. Please review the course offerings in preparation for registration paying particular attention to any special registration notes. Course offerings, times, rooms, and instructor details are subject to change based on enrollments. Remember to check your Self-Service account through the remainder of the term and in particular during the week prior to the start of the term to check for any updates. In the past few terms some courses have been running at capacity, so students who delay registering until later run the risk of not getting the courses or sections that they want.
Students with outstanding accounts will not be able to register until their accounts are paid in full. Please visit the Enrollment Services Office if this applies to you.
Priority Registration
For priority registration dates, please check the registration information of each program below. The Enrollment Services Office releases the priority registration dates three weeks prior to the first day of registration.
Meeting with your Academic Advisor
You are not required to meet with your academic advisor before registration unless you have any questions. You can find the email of your academic advisor in your Self-Service account and book an appointment with them directly.
Students on Leave of Absence
If you are a student currently on a Leave of Absence, you will need to contact the Enrollment Services Office to ensure your account is active. You should also contact your academic advisor to discuss your course selection.
Online Registration
To register online, you need to plan your courses and get the approval of your academic advisor in Self-Service.
You will be able to add and drop courses in Self-Service without penalty up until the day before the first day of the term. Registration in particular sections will be subject to the availability of seats. Before you change any classes, always consult with your academic advisor to ensure your course selection meets your program requirements. You will not be required to submit a registration form or change of schedule form before the first day of classes. However, you do need the approval of an advisor in Self-Service. For registrations on or after the first day of the term, you must first meet with your advisor and submit a Registration Form to Enrollment Services (Office 203 or esvancouver@fdu.edu).
If you have any questions about the online registration system, please contact the Enrollment Services Office.
Changes to Registration (Drop/Add Courses)
Students who wish to add or drop/withdraw from a course should consult with their Academic Advisor first.
Advisors will need to approve the Change of Schedule Form for course add/drop on or after the first day of the term. The form must be processed by Enrollment Services Office for students to be officially enrolled in or dropped from a course. If the form is not processed for dropping a course, students will still be considered registered and receive a final grade, and full tuition will be charged for the course.
Students are advised to check their status on their Self-Service account to confirm their registration.
When students drop or withdraw from courses, refunds will be processed in accordance with the refund policy. “W” grades will be assigned to courses for withdrawals after the add/drop deadline and up to the withdrawal deadline. Consult the Academic Calendar for the add/drop and withdrawal deadlines of each term.
