The advising, orientation and registration processes will vary based on your academic program.

New students should complete the following actions prior to registering for courses: 

• Contact your department and/or advisor for advising and orientation details. Some programs have a required orientation and/or an initial advising appointment before you register.  
• Once you receive an invitation from Canvas, our learning management system, you can access the online new student orientation.
• Attend the New Graduate Student Welcome and program orientations. Additional information about these events will be sent directly to you. 

Register for courses through mySeattleU Student Planning any time after your assigned registration time. You can also check out tutorial videos to learn how to register for your chosen courses.

• After you confirm your acceptance, look for your registration appointment time in Student Planning. If registration for your first quarter has begun, up to two business days may be required for you to receive your registration time.
• Some circumstances warrant a registration hold that is also accessible through Student Planning so you may act accordingly.
• Review the academic calendar to familiarize yourself with registration dates.
