4-Step Registration Process
Make a DegreeWorks Plan
The first step in the Registration Process is creating a Plan in DegreeWorks.
*Graduate students, please meet with your advisor to discuss your program of study.
The Plans tab allows students to plot their courses through graduation. Students can create a Plan from scratch, or add courses to a pre-defined template. Some departments require that students complete a plan prior to attending their advising session.
Students should review their DegreeWorks worksheet and create their next semester plan before meeting with their advisor.
See our DegreeWorks informationi website for more information on Plans.
Meet with Your Advisor
The next step is to visit with your advisor to review your DegreeWorks Plan. If your advisor agrees, he or she will lock and activate your Plan.
Not sure who your advisor is? Follow the steps on our Advisor Information website to find out.
Register for Classes
Now it's time to register! As soon as your registration date rolls around, log into your MyMSU account to register for the classes outlined in your DegreeWorks Plan. Check out registration dates in the Registration Timetable.
See our Registration Overview website for specific step-by-step instructions.
Verify Schedule/Confirm Your Bill
Once you have registered for classes, you can verify that your schedule is correct by checking your student schedule via your MMSU account.

When bill confirmation opens, it is imperative that you follow the necessary steps to confirming the bill for the schedule you created during registration. Failing to confirm your bill can result in late fees, holds on your account, even the loss of all of your classes!
