Below you will find:

Enrollment Checklist

Step 1: Know when to Enroll

Check out your Enrollment Window on the Academics page on one.ou.edu. Mark your calendar with the day and time that your enrollment window opens.

Step 2: Check for Holds

Holds may keep you from enrolling during your Enrollment Window or impact other processes. Any Holds on your account also will be listed on the Academics page on one.ou.edu. For questions about how to resolve a hold see the Office of the Registrar's page on Student Account Holds.

Step 3: Be Advised!

Schedule an advising appointment at iadvise.ou.edu. You must have a completed Advising Worksheet on file before you will be cleared to enroll. Following your advising appointment, check your Advising Status through one.ou.edu. If any Course Overrides or Special Permissions are required for any of your courses, be sure to clarify with your advisor how to obtain these.

Step 4: Build a Plan

Use the Plan Ahead link to create up to five different class schedules. Use the Advance Search to refine your search and to search for Gen Ed Course offerings. Through classnav.ou.edu students can browse all courses at OU.

Step 5: Register for Classes

You can use your saved plans to enroll in your classes. The first time you enroll at OU, you will be asked to accept or decline a statement of your financial responsibility as a student registered in OU classes. If you decline to accept the student financial responsibilities, you will not be able to proceed with the enrollment and registration process.

Step 6: Working the Waitlist

If you are unable to enroll in a course because it it full and the course has a waitlist, you can put your name on the list.

Step 7: Confirm Registration

Make sure you receive an email confirmation from Enrollment Services the next day following each registration transaction. If you do not receive an email, your transaction was not processed. It is then your responsibility to contact Enrollment Services immediately for assistance. Please keep all emails regarding registration until you receive your Bursar statement at the beginning of the semester.
