Online Class Registration FAQ

Students may view a course catalog, create their class schedules, and alter their registration online.

Where can I find my registration date and time?

Refer to the Pre-Registration Priority Dates to see your assigned registration date. You will also receive an email with an assigned time slot. This time slot indicates when you can begin registration on your registration date. The time is randomly assigned and cannot be changed. You can view your registration date and time slot in DegreeWorks. If you don't see your assigned time slot, contact the Office of the University Registrar at registrar@mail.wvu.edu. Refer to the Registrar's Time Ticketing page for more information about registration time slots.
