Online registration for incoming first-year and transfer students is now closed. You can still access Placement Exams and Hornet HQ while the system is closed, but you will not be able to make changes online to your registered courses. On August 5, fall course drop/add will open and you will be able to adjust your schedule, if needed. Additionally, during orientation you’ll meet with your academic advisor to address any questions or concerns you may have to finalize your schedule. Note that First-Year Seminar placements are now final and cannot be changed. If you have any registration questions, please contact the Registrar’s Office at regist@kzoo.edu.

Before you finalize your fall schedule, take a careful look at First-Year Friendly course availability.

• A course with a Status of Open has seats available.
• A course with a Status of Waitlisted is not necessarily full for incoming students. Current students may have joined the waitlist earlier, but seats may still be available for incoming students.

To see whether you can still register, look at the Availability column, which is displayed as:
Available / Taken / Capacity / Waitlisted
If the Available number (the first number) is greater than 0, there are still seats available for incoming students – even if the course status says Waitlisted. If you’re interested in the course, go ahead and register!

Already registered for three courses? If you want to switch one course for another, you’ll first need to drop or remove the course you no longer want. Once you’ve done that, you can register for the new course.

Reminder: In fall term, first-year students must register for a First-Year Seminar and two other 1.0 or 1.2 unit courses. You can also take .2 unit courses, in addition to your other three courses (but you cannot go above 3.9 total units).

Online registration will be open to all incoming first-year and transfer students until 4pm Monday, July 20 (Eastern time) to complete or make adjustments to your fall course registration.

On Tuesday, August 4, fall course drop/add will re-open for all students and you will be able to adjust your schedule, if needed. Additionally, during orientation you’ll meet with your academic advisor to further finalize your schedule. However, note that First-Year Seminar placements will be final after this registration period in July. We will register you for your First-Year Seminar if you have not chosen one by July 20.

Registration for incoming first-year students begins tomorrow (Tuesday) evening.

The Registrar’s Office would like to remind you that all registration holds must be cleared before you can register for classes. For incoming first-year students, the most common holds are:

• Emergency Contact Hold
• Student Financial Agreement Hold

Instructions for resolving these holds can be found on the Removing Registration Holds page.

To assist anyone having difficulty during the registration process, the Registrar’s Office will be available via email until 10:00PM EDT on Tuesday, July 14 and Wednesday, July 15. If you have questions about registration, please email regist@kzoo.edu, using your Kalamazoo College email account.

All incoming first-year and transfer students should have received an email message in your Kalamazoo email account from the Registrar’s Office with your specific online registration time. If you did not receive a message, contact the Registrar’s Office as soon as possible.

If you did not complete your online placement exams yet, you should still complete them as soon as possible, as our faculty will be grading them at additional times this summer.

Placement exams are required. More specific information on which exams you must take can be found on the placement exams website. The results of the placement exams will be posted in July before course registration if the exams were completed before the deadline. Results for exams taken after the deadline will be available at the latest during orientation.

Remember: you are required to take the placement exam for math and any language studied in high school or for which you have even minimal proficiency – even if, at this point, you do not intend on or are not sure about continuing in that language at K.

Don’t forget to complete your online placement exams by June 15.
