Registering for Classes and Academic Policies

Traditional Undergraduate Students: First-semester registration details are available in the Admitted Students section. You’ll also receive instructions by email and mail.
Graduate and Degree-Completion Students: Your admissions counselor will provide your initial enrollment information.

Undergraduate, Graduate, and Degree-Completion Students register through Student Planning in Self-Service.
Traditional undergraduates must meet with their faculty advisor before registering.
Your registration time is based on credits earned. Watch your North Park email for specific registration dates and instructions.
Registration typically opens:
- Fall Semester: March/April
- Spring Semester: October

Helpful tools:

You may add or drop courses before the term starts and with some limitations during the first week of class.
No charge for changes through the first week; a $15 fee applies for additions after that.
Submit an Add/Drop Form with:
- Name and ID
- Term and course details (department, number, section, title, credits, instructor)

Remote Add/Drop Requests

If you can’t use Student Planning:

To add a course:
- Ask the instructor to email approval to registrar@northpark.edu, or
- Forward their approval email yourself
To drop a course:
- Ask the instructor to email confirmation of your withdrawal, or
- Forward their confirmation email

Important: You cannot drop your last remaining class online. Email registrar@northpark.edu to request a full withdrawal.

You can make changes to your course schedule for any term until that term starts, and with certain limitations after it begins. Learn more about adding or dropping classes.

While you’re a student, you may also encounter some special situations affecting your registration or course load. Find more information on various academic policies and procedures
