Step 3: Register for Classes

You should meet with an advisor and review your degree plan before you start picking classes. Your Academic plan will keep you on track. You can check your academic plan and register for classes in your Workday Student Portal. You can also view classes and availability, register, pay tuition, view your financial aid status, and more. 

 

Collin College offers flexible course scheduling. Learn more about our course options.

 

Other things to consider:
Learn when registration is available here. Be sure to check whether your courses/labs have any associated fees. 

 

Schedule Changes
During the online registration period, you may add and/or drop classes by accessing your Workday Student Portal.

You can add and/or drop classes through the first four days of classes during a long semester and during the first day of Summer or mini-semester terms. For express and weekend courses, registration deadlines will vary. Please see an advisor for details. For 16-week classes, there is a registration hard stop deadline of the fourth day of the semester.

 

Once you have registered and need to make schedule changes, you can do so during online registration.

A $100 late fee will be assessed for students who wait until the first day of the term to register for the first time.

 

Waitlists 
Is the class you wanted full? Sign up for the waitlist. When you receive a registration add error, select “Waitlisted” in the Action box and then select “Submit Changes.” If a seat becomes available, you will be notified through your Collin email. You will only have 24 hours to confirm and pay.
