| New students and returning students who haven’t registered in the past year, will need to complete an application and be admitted to Wright State in one of the following categories:
Your campus computer account information and WSU E-mail account will be mailed to you. Most students are eligible to register for classes online. Check your email account regularly as this is the way that WSU will send official communications to you.
As a student, many campus resources will be available to you.
When can I register?
Registration for each term is divided into two periods, Early Registration and Open Registration. Each period has different due dates and policies regarding the cancellation of registration due to nonpayment by the due date.
All students are expected to complete the registration process, including schedule changes, by the end of the Open Registration Period when online registration closes. Specific dates for each term are published in the academic calendar.
Early Registration Period
All admitted students will be assigned to a specific early registration group based on their student classification, and the number of credit hours earned in the classification.
Intersession and Winter 2010 Registration Schedule
Fall 2009 Registration Schedule
Summer 2009 Registration Schedule
Spring 2009 Registration Schedule
- Transfer credit and test credit, i.e., AP, CLEP, that has been posted to your academic record are included in the hours earned for registration purposes.
- Returning and newly admitted students will be notified by mail of their eligibility to register after their admission status is complete.
- If you register during the Early Registration Period, and your fees are not paid by the published due date, your registration will be cancelled.
- Once you have registered during the Early Registration Period, you cannot change your fee payment due date by withdrawing and then re-registering later during the Open Registration Period.
Open Registration Period
- Begins the day after the early registration period ends and extends through the first week of a regular term or day two of a short term like Intersession or summer A term.
- Schedules for students who register during the Open Registration Period are NOT subject to cancellation for nonpayment by the published due date. If you decide not to attend the classes, you must officially withdraw before the term begins to completely avoid any financial penalty. Specific tuition refund deadlines for each term are published in the quarterly calendar. Some lab and special fees are not refundable after the term begins.
- Registrations and schedule adjustments should be completed by the end of the Open Registration Period.
- Online registration will not be available after the Open Registration Period has ended.
How Do I Prepare to Register?
- Review information on CaTS web page for step by step instructions (PDF) on how to log in to your account, look up classes, register, accept your financial aid award, and pay fees online.
- Log into your WINGS Express account to :
- Find your specific registration date.
- See if you have any holds on your account which will block registration.
- Opt out of health insurance if you do not want to purchase it.
- Run your Degree Audit Report (DARS) to see what classes you need to take for your degree program. This will also show how any transfer work has been applied.
- Review the schedule of classes (Online Class Schedule).
- Make note of any prerequisites or course restrictions on the classes you want to take.
- Plan your schedule using the Planning Grid
- Meet with your academic advisor.
Some students will need advisor approval to register. Take a copy of your Degree Audit Report (DARS) and your proposed schedule with you to your advising appointment. Even if you don’t need approval to register, it is a good idea to meet with your advisor periodically.
How Do I Register?
Once admitted, most students are eligible to register online through WINGS Express.
You can also register in person at the:
- Registration windows of the Registrar’s Office, located in E244 Student Union
- Student Services Office at the Lake Campus
You can make changes to your schedule (drop/adds) or completely withdraw from all of your classes in the same manner. Specific dates and deadlines for registration, dropping classes and getting a tuition refund can be found in the academic calendar.
Can I register late?
It may be possible to register after the Open Registration Period has ended, but you will need to have the instructor’s permission and any other approvals that may be required (advisor, departmental, UCIE).
- Speak with the instructor to see if it is possible for you to join the class late and to see if you can make arrangements to complete any work that you have missed.
- Obtain the instructor’s permission in addition to any other required approvals, such as advisor approval or departmental approval. The approvals can be entered either online or on the registration form.
- Register in person at the Registrar’s Office using the Registration form (PDF).
Late Registration Fee Policy
A $250 late registration/add fee will be assessed beginning the 16th calendar day of a term. The late fee will be prorated for shorter terms. See the calendar for deadline dates.
NOTE: Students may register for flexibly scheduled classes/workshops anytime prior to the start of the class/workshop without a late registration/add fee or instructor permission unless the class is closed.
Students who register or add classes after the 16th day of the term due to extenuating circumstances may submit a refund petition requesting that the late charges be removed under one of the following conditions:
- Documented university error
- Extraordinary extenuating circumstances documented by the student, which prevented registration by the 16th calendar day of a term
The Refund Petition is available on our website under FORMS or in the Registrar's Office located in E244 Student Union. The late registration/add fee petitions committee meets monthly.
