Registration and Schedules

Dunwoody College programs are structured around a cohort model, ensuring students complete their degrees within a set time frame. However, students have the flexibility to request part-time, less-than-part-time, three-quarter-time, or full-time schedules based on personal preferences or extenuating circumstances. We encourage students to discuss these requests with the Registrar’s Office, their faculty advisor, or their director/dean. Learn more about how your Enrollment Status may affect financial aid eligibility and your expected graduation date.

I am a new student, how do I register for classes? 

For your first semester at Dunwoody, registration is completed by the Registrar's Office. To be cleared for registration, students complete the Financial Responsibility Form with or without submitting the year-appropriate FAFSA. Academic Plans follow a cohort model and are used to determine your first semester schedule.

Once you are registered, you can locate your textbooks through the Dunwoody Bookstore using the term, department, course number, and section listed on your schedule in my.dunwoody.

I am a transfer student, how do I register for classes? 

For your first semester at Dunwoody, the Registrar’s Office handles registration. To be cleared for registration, students must complete the  Financial Responsibility Form, with or without submitting the year-appropriate FAFSA or adding Dunwoody's school code to an existing FAFSA. The Registrar's Office reviews your transfer credits through official transcript submissions and creates an appropriate first-semester schedule. If your schedule differs from the prescribed cohort model due to transfer credits, your dean or director will assist in selecting the best schedule for you.

I am a PSEO student, how do I register for classes? 

For all of your semesters as a PSEO student at Dunwoody, your registration is completed by the Registrar's Office. To be cleared for registration, students should submit all forms located under the Applications and Acceptance Process. The Registrar's Office reviews your remaining high school graduation requirements with your Academic Plan and determines an appropriate semester schedule. Once you complete your high school degree, the Registrar's Office will complete your first semester registration as a high school graduate. You will be introduced to your faculty advisor who will work with you to complete your academic planning for all remaining semesters at Dunwoody. 

I am a current student, how do I register for classes? 

Registration for courses after the first semester is coordinated by the student’s faculty advisor and the academic director or dean. Students register for classes and can see their academic plans and schedules at my.dunwoody. During Advising Weeks, returning students work with their faculty advisor to determine what courses to enroll in for the upcoming term.

To register for classes:

  • Attend an Advising Weeks session with your faculty advisor (or director/dean) of their program
  • Ensure all account balances are satisfied before registration
  • Satisfy all pre-requisite(s) requirements for courses

Schedule Change Requests 

New Students 

New students who desire to change their schedule can do so through Day 5 of the term. Learn more about adding, dropping, and withdrawing from a course. New student requests to add or drop a course should be emailed to registrar@dunwoody.edu - or come see us on campus in the Pinska Center.

Current Students

Up to Day 5, current students can add or drop courses to their schedule for their faculty advisor to approve. After Day 5, students can withdraw from a course by talking with their faculty advisor who completes the Add/Drop/Withdraw Form following a discussion of the implications of withdrawing from a course(s).

Dunwoody Initiated Changes to a Student's Schedule

Courses may be canceled or modified at the discretion of Dunwoody College. Students will be notified if they are enrolled in a canceled or modified section and a refund may be issued for the course. Students should work with their faculty advisor or academic director/dean to determine their registration in another course section.

Dunwoody will:
  1. Notify affected students as soon as the action is taken.
  2. Use a reasonable time frame when deciding to cancel courses for low enrollment.
  3. Assist all students with finding replacement courses or other accommodations (including independent studies, or transfer courses) where cancellations impact students’ degree progress, graduation, and/or financial aid.
  4. When possible, if cancelled courses are prerequisites for other required courses, accept alternative courses as the prerequisite.
