Steps to Register

Before you register, make sure you’re prepared. Follow these steps:

• Go to the Registration Preparation task in One.IU to access tools to help with registration planning and preparation.
• Map out your schedule with iGPS and make sure you’re prepared one to two weeks before your upcoming enrollment date.
• Read about prerequisites and class components so you know what you’ll be able to register for.
• Request any required permissions for classes you want to take.
• Look at the final exam schedule to make sure you won’t have any conflicts.
• Check for holds on your registration and obtain a release for each hold (you won’t be able to register until you’ve done this step).
• Review and update your addresses.

New students will meet with their advisor at New Student Orientation. All other students can schedule an appointment to meet with their advisor as needed. Follow the advising procedure established by your school or department.

If you are a currently enrolled student at IU Bloomington, and you have planned your schedule in iGPS and the Enrollment Shopping Cart, you should register for classes during your registration appointment. All undergraduate students new to IU Bloomington will register during open registration, usually during New Student Orientation.
