What is Backpack?
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.

Is there more than one registrar's office at the University of Michigan?
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.
