Graduate Education Registration

Registration, Withdrawal and Refund Policy
Prior to registering, please review Gordon's Registration, Withdrawal and Refund Policy. Please register before the priority registration deadline to avoid the $50 late registration fee per course. Registration closes at midnight on the first day of the session. Please contact the Graduate Education Office with questions or concerns. Thank you for your cooperation. 

How to Register:

New/First Time Students 
(If you have already applied, move on to All Students below)

1. If you would like to get started with courses before fully applying to a program, or if you do not have time to complete a full application before the session application deadline, you must first complete a Quick Application to create your Gordon graduate student profile before registering for your first graduate course. In the Applicant Portal (click "Sign Up" if you do not already have an account), create a new application and select the “Take up to 3 courses before applying!” option for your program type. Degree-seeking students may take up to 9 credits (typically three courses) before formally applying to a degree program, and Certificate students up to 3 credits before applying.
2. After your Quick or Full Application has been accepted, you will receive an email with subject line, "Gordon College Enrollment Next Steps" with instructions to set up your Gordon account. You will need this account to register.
3. Next, you will receive an email with subject line, "Registering for Classes" with instructions for submitting your Billing Contract and registering. A Billing Contract is required each session, and you cannot register until it is complete. You can also follow the registration instructions below.

All Students

1. A Billing Contract must be completed before registering for your courses.
2. Registration: You can also watch a quick video with instructions.
   1. You will need to log in to the https://my.gordon.edu website. From there you will see the word Academics at the top of the page.
   2. On the right side of the screen under My Registration Dates, you will find your assigned registration times for the upcoming semester.  Find the heading title Student Registration and open the drop-down menu to select the term. This is important, as the default term may not be a Graduate Education term. Choose the term with the word Graduate in it.
   3. Choose the courses established in your advising worksheet. If the registration period is closed, you will see a Plan button. If it is open, you will see a Register button. You can schedule courses in two ways; by searching for the specific course or by using the drop-down menus listed to find the courses. Using the academic plan as your guide, expand Course Search, type the first course code (with no spaces) and click Search Courses.
   4. Click the + symbol and you will see the course added to your calendar. Repeat the steps for each course. Note that asynchronous courses will simply appear at the top of the schedule grid under Non-scheduled courses.
   5. Once your courses have been added to the schedule, your courses are planned but you are not officially guaranteed a spot until you register them. When your registration period opens, the Plan button will change to Register. Click Register. Then select the Registration Checkout button in the upper right corner.
   6. 3. Warnings and Restrictions
      There may be a time in which you will see a hold when registering for classes. There are generally two reasons for this.
   7. If you have a hold, it may be due to an incomplete billing contract. Please complete the Billing Contract, wait one hour, then try registering again.
   8. If you have already completed a Billing Contract, the hold could be a Financial Hold. To resolve this issue, please contact [email protected].
