Spring 2025 REGISTRATION INSTRUCTIONS
Registration for Spring 2025 courses begins Monday, October 28

Students should contact their advisor early to schedule an advising/registration meeting.  Students will register themselves online via Self- Service Student Planning (SSSP). (Students who are not on campus Fall 2024 should contact their advisor via e-mail to discuss their Spring 2025 registration choices.)  Students will not be able to access the online registration system until the advisor has cleared the advising registration hold and all other holds are cleared.

The registration schedule below is used to assign your registration date and time. To view your official classification and registration time go here:

* Note: Your registration group is based on the number of full-time completed semesters. College semesters completed while in high school do not count.  Registration group questions should be directed to the Registrar’s Office staff (registrar@central.edu).

** IF you miss your assigned registration window, you may still register during a different group time. However, the system will provide only one opportunity, so be sure you include all desired coursework AND the schedule has no conflicts.

Prepare for Advising Session:  Students should add classes to their Course Plan on Student Planning to develop a tentative schedule.  Bring your plan to your advising appointment. Don’t forget to remind your advisor to clear your advising hold prior to leaving your advising meeting.  While academic advisors, faculty and staff provide significant academic planning and related assistance to students, completion of all degree requirements, and the process of monitoring progress to that end, is ultimately the responsibility of the student. 

Check Registration Holds:  Students must clear all holds before attempting to register. You can check your registration holds here or on Student Planning. Students who have not met with their advisor, need to declare a major, have an account balance greater than $100, a past due monthly payment plan, missing final transcripts, or not completed Title IX training will not be allowed to register. Students with a minimum of 84 completed credits must also complete the Graduation Application here to register.

Online Registration:  Students should register for a maximum of 18 credits online via SSSP any time after their assigned registration start day/time and once all holds have been cleared.  Students who wish to receive assistance with the registration process may stop by the registrar’s office between 8:00 a.m. and 4:30 p.m., Monday through Friday. Remember to add the course SECTION to your plan to be able to register for the course (it will show on your calendar view).

100-Level Courses:  As in previous years, 100-level courses are being held for first year students.  Please plan your registration accordingly.

Waitlisting: Utilize the waitlist option for classes if you are not able to register for a section because it was full or if seats are being held for underclassmen.  This applies to ALL courses, including LAS 410.

**If you are a student who does not meet the requirements to register for an LAS 410 and have a need to complete one in the spring of 2025, please send an email to registrar@central.edu with your name, your top 3 choices for an LAS 410, and rationale for needing the class. Please do not wait until registration is underway to share your need with our office. Still have questions? Contact registrar@central.edu.

Waitlists will be run when registration opens on Monday, November 18.

Schedule Changes:  Once registration re-opens for all students on November 18, students will be allowed to make changes to their schedule via SSSP until the end of Add/ Drop on January 24.  Registration changes must be discussed with your advisor.

Special Registration Notes:  For some courses a paper form is required. If you complete the necessary from prior to registration beginning, you can bring it to the registrar’s office for processing. This will allow you to register on your assigned day and time for the course indicated on the form. This is a new feature in SSSP.
