Registrar's Office FAQ

An admitted applicant who finds that circumstances necessitate a change in their enrollment status (example: from Extended Degree Curriculum Schedule to the Full-time Program or from the Full-time Program to the Extended Degree Curriculum Schedule) prior to the beginning of the first term must submit a written or email ([email protected]) request to the Office of Student Services and Enrollment Management for review and approval. The request must include the reasons for the desired change in status.

Students who wish to drop all elections in a given term and who do so prior to the first day of classes (according to the University Academic Calendar) for the term can do so by contacting the University Registrar, 2200 Student Activities building, [email protected].

Yes. There is the University's Office of the Registrar located primarily in the Student Activities building with some offices across the street in the LS&A building, and there are in some cases school/college registrars. The School of Social Work also has a registrar's office located in room 1772 of the School of Social Work building. The two offices provide different functions but very related ones. In some cases, students may be referred to the University's Office of the Registrar.

A number of issues could be the reason. Students should note the message they receive when the system rejects the attempt to enroll. If the class is closed or restricted, students will need to file a course enrollment petition to try to gain entry. If the message indicates that the credit hours allowed have been exceeded, the student may need to file a Petition to Register Over 18 Credit Hours.

This is the process of placing classes a student intends to register for into a "backpack" in Wolverine Access. This process is required in order to register. Students can place more classes in a backpack than they intend to register for, but they will be limited as to how many they can actually enroll in. Students should plan on setting up backpacks prior to their registration appointment time.

This is the gateway to administrative systems at the University of Michigan and is the system used for many tasks, including registering for classes, applying for graduation, and viewing student accounts.
