As you prepare to register for courses, please review and complete the Course Registration Adviser Contact Preference Form. On this form you will be asked your preferences on how you would like to communicate with your Summer Registration Adviser who will answer any questions you have as you complete your fall registration and will provide your Alternate (registration) PIN to complete the registration process. You will soon receive information about the name of your summer registration adviser in an email.
Fall course registration will be open from July 17 at 9:00 a.m. to July 28 at 5:00 p.m. First-year students have been assigned an Earlham Seminar based on information shared on your seminar preference form when provided. Please note that all Earlham Seminars are scheduled to meet Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays at 9:00 a.m., and some have an additional lab time on Fridays from 2:30 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. You will build the remainder of your schedule around your Earlham Seminar. Academic Advisers have been assigned according to your interests and Seminar group. We are no longer able to make changes to these selections going forward.
As you prepare to complete registration for the Fall Semester, consider the following:
- Have I selected a course that is reflective of my academic interest and strength?
- Have I selected a course that will introduce me to a new area of learning?
- Have I selected a course that will complete a general education area?
- Have I selected a course that will be both challenging and engaging?
If you have answered “yes” to most of these questions, you have started the path of “Building an Academic Career at Earlham College.”
