How will I view the course description of classes, amount of credits eligible for each course and other details?
Course descriptions are viewable anywhere a course number is listed with a blue hyperlink to see more about that specific course.

To find course sections for a specific semester, select the 'Academics' icon within your Workday applications. On the 'Registration' tab select 'Plan My Registration', type the appropriate semester (e.g. Fall, Spring, etc.) to jump to that semester and, select the course you want to view. Another option is typing 'Find Courses' in the Workday search bar which lists every course ever offered, past and present, without specifying which semester.

No notification will be sent to your Workday inbox if you have not been added to a waitlisted course. Please work with your academic advisor if/when you have questions.

How can I view my waitlisted courses?

Who should I contact if I have more questions surrounding the waitlist?
You should contact your academic advisor to discuss. This information can be found by logging into MyUTampa, select Workday and then the Academics app. Your academic advisor will appear under the Important Contacts Support Network.
How do I register with co-requisites (two courses that must be registered together as a pair)?
Register for the course and an alert will indicate to also select a section of its dependent course. For example, register for the lecture, and when it lists lab options, pick one of the open labs to complete the transaction.
When two courses must be taken as a pair, such as a lecture and a lab, when looking at the eligibility of one of the courses alone, a 'no' is listed next to the eligibility for the individual course as no one can add it alone. The registration will go through only when students register for both lecture and lab together. Workday words that eligibility as 'completed' or is 'in process of completing' and then lists the required pair. No prerequisite override requests or approvals are necessary for lecture or lab when all other requirements for the course have been met.
Is there a way to narrow my search when finding a course to add to my schedule?
On the Academics dashboard, under the Registration tab's 'Planning and Registration', choose 'Plan My Registration' to arrive at the 'Find Course Sections' page. After entering a semester search for Fall, Spring, Winter, or Summer (and the related year) then select the level such as undergraduate, that class schedule will appear. On the left-hand side of your screen you will see many filters such as 'Course Tags.' You can check the boxes of what you would like to filter your search by to narrow your findings.
Will I still be able to create multiple saved schedule for my courses?
Yes, multiple saved schedules can be created prior to registering for classes. Creating saved schedules in Workday expedites the registration process once you are eligible to register for classes. Creating a saved schedule does not mean registration has been completed; you must still return when you're able to register for classes and you can register from your saved schedule at that time. A how-to guide and video are available to show this process by selecting the 'Workday Help' icon after logging into Workday.
How can I view my schedule in a calendar format in the system?
When going through the process of building your planned schedules before registering, you will be adding many courses to one schedule at a time. After creating your schedule for registration, giving it a name, choosing the course sections and times for each class, and adding those classes to your schedule, you will arrive at a page titled 'Add Course to Schedule.' On this page, you are given different options such as 'Start Registration,' 'View Schedule,' 'Add Course' and 'Edit.' Click on 'View Schedule' to see how your planned schedule looks on a calendar.
What does course eligibility mean?
Course eligibility states prerequisites, co-requisites, and other requirements to meet in order to register for a course. 'Eligibility' is seen on the course section as a list of courses and other requirements to meet in order to register. Some have 'any' of the following: MAT 170, MAT 260, MAT 261, meaning that any one of those math courses qualifies. It is also used to restrict the number of seats for a specific population (ex: 10 seats reserved for majors). Workday recognizes in-progress spring/summer courses as meeting prerequisites.
How long will the registration process take?
The process timeline to register has many different dependencies, including the number of credit hours and classes being taken, assuming that all prerequisites have been met, and more. However, Workday is very user-friendly, and easy to navigate, enrolling in one class, assuming all dependencies have been met, takes less than one minute.
