Course registration for on-campus courses begins with course selection. It is your responsibility as a student to select appropriate courses, and you are expected to meet with your academic advisor to discuss course selection during your freshman year.
Details of course offerings for the summer are available through "Course Planner" or "Course Shopping Cart" on the Ball State University Current Students Services web page. During the summer months, classes are offered on campus three different ways: Summer Semester (May 14 - July 20), First Summer Session (May 14 - June 15) and Second Summer Session (June 18 - July 20). You will want to meet with your advisor to discuss which time period works best for you. After you have met with your advisor and chosen appropriate courses, it is time to register for classes. Follow these easy steps to submit a summer registration on the web:
- Begin by accessing the Ball State University Services for Current Students web page. (select Current Students from the Home Page Navigation Bar)
- Under the Registration Tab, select "Students Taking Main Campus Classses." You will see a full menu of related tools and procedures.
- Use Course Shopping Cart or Course Planner to find the scheduling information for the classes you want to take. You will see a drop down menu to help in locating the course, and then the meeting times, hours, locations, and additional information for any term you choose. The convenient feature of Course Shopping Cart is the option to actually click beside the class offering, and create your own list.
- When you are ready to submit your course registration for the summer (beginning February 20) select the Add/Drop/Registration link from the menu of options.
- Enter your Ball State username and password.
- The Add/Drop/Registration screen will open but will show no courses selected until you perform the action to place courses into the Add/Drop/Registration area. If you saved a list, you will see it in the lower portion of the screen. Click in the boxes beside the classes you want to submit and then click, "Add Checked Courses." You should see each course at the top, and the total number of credit hours you are requesting. You can also enter your courses by typing in the five digit number, called the "reference number," at the far left, and entering by selecting "add course."
- When you have added each course you intend to take click "I Am Finished." Close the browser to log out.
- You will be able to access your Schedule on the web at My Education Gateway.
If you have a hold on your record, you will not receive a schedule.
