Registration and Records

Registration

When may I register for courses?

Registration for Summer term and Fall semester is in April.  Registration for January term and Spring semester is in November.  New students register for courses during orientation.  Online registration using WebAdvisor is available only during these registration periods. 

How may I make changes to my registration?

Use the Registration Change form at all other times to add or drop classes.  Alternately, you may request to change your registration by sending an email to jbull@linfield.edu with a copy to your faculty advisor.  The Registration and Records Office will make the change upon receiving approval from your academic advisor.

How do I use WebAdvisor during the initial registration period?

1) Click on the WebAdvisor link (on this page, to the left)

2) Log-in by entering your Linfield username and password. If you do not know these two items, please visit www.linfield.edu/support or speak to either Aaron De Clerck or Derrin Arnett.

3) Click on “Access Student Menu.”

4) Click on “Register for Classes.”

5) Click on “Express Registration.”

6) A table should appear at this point. While there are several columns available, you will only need to fill in three of them: Synonym, Term and Take for.

7) Under the column labeled “Synonym,” enter the 4-digit registration number (listed on the far left-hand column in the list of classes) for each class that you wish to take.

8) Under the column labeled “Term,” click on the arrows at the far right of that field to activate the drop menu; select the appropriate term.  For example, “2007SP” for each class  selected for the spring semester 2007.

9) Under the column labeled “Take For,” click on the arrow at the far right of that field to activate the drop menu; click on either “Credit” or “Satisfactory/Unsatisfactory” for all the classes that you wish to take. Choose the “credit” option unless you are taking a paracurricular course, the one-credit courses beginning with “0” (090, for example).

10) Once all your courses have been entered, along with the appropriate term and your intention to take the class for credit, scroll to the bottom of the page and click “Submit.”

11) WebAdvisor will then process your registration. At this point, you should check your schedule to make confirm your registration. To do this, click on the ““Main Menu” icon followed by “My Class Schedule.”   Taking time to check your schedule at this time, will help insure you aren't closed out of any classes later. We suggest you print out your schedule.

12) Logout of WebAdvisor.

Note Regarding WebAdvisor

WebAdvisor uses fairly small text messages, which may be easily overlooked, to warn you of errors in your registration. For example, if you have been placed on a waitlist, the column in which the word “Registered” would appear after a successful registration, would instead read “Waitlist.” To reiterate a very important message: In order to be absolutely certain of which classes you’re registered for, check “My Class Schedule” from the WebAdvisor main menu  once you have completed your registration.
