Each semester there is a range of dates during which currently enrolled students pre-register for their next semester classes. In general, the month of April is the pre-registration period for the Summer and following Fall Term. In general, the month of November is the pre-registration period for the Spring Term. Students may pre-register based on their classification. Seniors and postbaccalaureate students have the first opportunity to pre-register. Thereafter, juniors, sophomores and freshmen can pre-register with approximately one-week intervals between classifications. The specific pre-registration beginning dates are listed on the first page of that term's Schedule of Classes.

Before registering for classes, all undergraduates are required to meet and collaborate on their proposed schedules with their academic advisors prior to pre-registration. Please review the sections on [Working with Your Advisor], [Types of Courses Offered at EKU], and [CARES Report] prior to meeting your advisor.

Once you and your advisor are in agreement on your course selections your advisor will provide you with a Registration Access Code (RAC). This allows you to register via the web-based EKUDirect student data system.

TIP: It is best to pre-register as early as you can in order to ensure the widest availability of course times and days.

TIP: Students new to EKU may pre-register for classes during one-day orientation sessions offered by the University. These dates begin shortly after continuing students have had an opportunity to register.
