Undergraduate Registration
Students register using EagleApps. Undergraduate students need the following to access the registration system:
- Username and password to log into the Agora Portal
- VPN, if accessing EagleApps from off campus
Degree Audits
Degree audits are available for undergraduate students in Morrissey College of Arts and Sciences (MCAS), Carroll School of Management (CSOM), Connell School of Nursing (CSON), Lynch School of Education and Human Development, and the Law School. A degree audit is a computer-generated analysis that enables you and your advisor to review your academic progress and unfulfilled requirements. The degree audit is a valuable tool for academic planning because it matches the courses that you have taken with the requirements of your degree program. You should carefully review your degree audit in consultation with your advisor. Through sbf.60654a.com/myservices, you can request a degree audit or a simulated degree audit (which shows the requirements for different schools, majors, and minors) to be downloaded to your computer.
For more information, view the EagleApps Student Degree Audit Guide.
Advising for Registration
All undergraduate students should meet with their advisor prior to registration to review their degree audit and progress towards their degree.
Degree Audit Errors
If it is a course that normally counts toward the specific requirement, it may not be counted due to an error in the system, in which case you should contact your assistant registrar (MCAS — Karen Livingston; CSOM, CSON, and LSEHD — Jenna Burke) in Lyons Hall. If it is a course that does not usually fulfill the requirement that you would like it to count for, please fill out a Degree Audit Course Substitution and Waiver form. For example, the department may approve an upper-level course to fulfill a Core requirement or a course transferred from another institution may be approved to fulfill a specific major requirement.
Satisfactory Academic Progress
The requirements for Satisfactory Academic Progress are specified in the academic regulations for each school.
Undergraduate Advising
Your advisor's information is available through your sbf.60654a.com/myservices. Once you are logged on, choose "MyServices," "Account and Personal Info," and then "Academic Advisor."
All undergraduate students should check Agora Portal to confirm their advisors' name and contact information. Students in the Morrissey College of Arts and Sciences who want to switch from a major to “undeclared” must go to the Academic Advising Center in Stokes S140. A Morrissey College of Arts and Sciences student who wants to request a change of his/her major advisor should visit his/her major department’s office. CSOM students should visit the CSOM office, Fulton 360; CSON students, the CSON office, Cushing 202; Lynch School students, the Lynch School office, Campion 106.
Registration Appointment Times
For undergraduates, appointments are scheduled from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. during the allotted days by class year. Appointment times can be seen in the blue header of EagleApps Planning and Registration just prior to the start of registration. You may not register before your appointment time but may register anytime thereafter.
For more information, view the EagleApps Student Planning and Registration Guide.
Alternating Halves of the Alphabet
Registration appointment times for each class year are divided into two groups. Last names M–Z will be in one group, and last names A–L will be in another group.
One group will be assigned registration appointments at random between 9 a.m. and 12:45 p.m., while the other will be assigned slots between 1:00 p.m. and 4:45 p.m.
For each semester, we will alternate which group registers first. Regardless of the student's last name, the final semester of registration (during the Fall of Senior Year) will be fully randomized.
For more details, see the tables below:

Registration Holds
You may have a hold on your registration for a number of reasons, but the two main causes are having an outstanding balance on your student account or failing to submit proof of immunization to the Health Services Office. If a registration hold message appears at the bottom of your Registration Information/Degree Audit Form, you must see the appropriate office (Outstanding Balance—Student Services, Immunization—Health Services, etc.) to resolve the situation before you can register.
For information regarding immunization requirements, visit the University Policies and Procedures page on the University Catalog website.
