The School of Business & Society and the Registrar’s office are excited to provide you with Student Planning which will provide you with clear and easy access to not only your course schedule but so much more.  Using Student Planning, you can develop a course plan, communicate with your advisor, search and register for classes, and update your profile with the University.

Virtual Assistance – your Academic Advisor has the capability to share your screen with you and walk you through registration.  If you find yourself struggling, please contact your Student Success Advisor for assistance.

Students may add and drop classes online during their online registration period. After the registration period, your Student Success Advisor can assist you until the add/drop deadline. For changes after this point please contact your Student Success Advisor to review the process.

Advisor Approval

Before being able to officially register for courses, students must obtain approval of their plan from their Student Success Advisor.  Once the plan has been approved in Student Planning, the option to register for courses will be available. 

1. To choose courses, consult the SFTS course lists and the GTU course schedule (which includes SFTS offerings as well as those of the other GTU schools). The most up-to-date version of the comprehensive course schedule can be found on the GTU website. Talk to your advisor to make sure that you are fulfilling the requirements of your degree.

2. Courses with a limited number of seats available fill up quickly, so register early in the registration period. If the maximum number of students is reached and you did not make the list, the faculty will notify you by the end of general registration.

3. Students will register through Self-Service (Student Planning). You will be receiving your login information soon.   

4. Changes to your registration: Adjustments and corrections to your registration may be made without penalty until the end of the late registration period, which is usually the end of the second week of class in any given term. After that deadline, the registrar will make changes in your enrollment after you obtain the instructor’s signature on a change form and pay a $50 fee. A $100 fee will be charged for initial registration during the late registration period. No changes are allowed after the 10th week of class.
