Step-By-Step Registration Instructions

Below are instructions for the two tasks required for this process:

1. Identifying your next classes
2. Creating and registering from a saved schedule

If you have already identified which classes you plan to enroll in for the upcoming term, you can skip to the instructions for Creating and Registering from a Saved Schedule.

Identifying Classes Needed Next in Your Program

Step 1

1. Log in to the Student Portal using your 8-digit NWTC ID number and password. (You may need to use multi-factor authentication to verify your identity. (Watch a short video about how to log in to your account.) 
2. Click on Workday.

Step 2

• Once in Workday, go to the Your Top Apps section and click on Academics Hub.

Step 3

• Expand the Academic History section and click "My Academic Progress".
• Note: The Academic Progress Report displays the percentage of satisfied requirements, cumulative GPA, and unused registrations at the top of the report. The first table on the Academic Progress Report provides you with an overview of program requirements.

The Degree Requirements section displays program GPA, requirements effective date, and last evaluated date. The Requirement table will list the following information.

Make a list of the classes with the status of Not Satisfied. You will need this information later to create/register from a saved schedule.

• Requirement - Click on the requirement name to view the course(s) that will satisfy the requirement for your program of study.
• Status - Satisfied, In Progress, or Not Satisfied (the courses you still need to complete) requirements. 
• Remaining - Requirements.
• Registration Used - Lists the course that is used/in progress to satisfy the degree requirement.
• Academic Period - Lists the academic period in which the course was completed or will be completed.
• Credits - Lists the credits required to satisfy the degree requirement.
• Grade - Lists the grade earned, if the academic requirement has been completed. 

Creating/Registering Using the Saved Schedule Method

Step 1

1. Log in to the Student Portal using your 8-digit NWTC ID number and password. (You may need to use multi-factor authentication to verify your identity. (Watch a short video about how to log in to your account.) 
2. Click on Classes in the menu. Then scroll down and find the box labeled Search for Upcoming Classes, then click Find and Register for Classes.

Step 2

• Enter the name of the course into the search box and click the Search button.  
• Select the course from the list and review the list of sections available. Pay close attention to the term the course is offered in. Make sure you select a section in the term you want to register for.
  • Select More Details to move forward. On the next screen, scroll down and click Enroll.
  • On the next screen, find and click Add to Saved Schedule.

Step 3

• Click on Create Student Registration Saved Schedule.
• The academic period may automatically populate a session, such as "Spring Session 1," "Spring Session 2," or "Spring 2026." To create a single saved schedule that includes both sessions as well as full-semester courses, you will need to change the session to the full semester option (either "Spring 2026" or "Fall 2026"). If you keep the session set to "Session 1" or "Session 2," you will have to create multiple saved schedules for each corresponding session.

• In the Saved Schedule Name, name your saved schedule something that will help you stay organized (for example, Fall 2025 Option A).
• Click OK, then Choose Times, and OK again.
• If you are enrolling in only one class, click on Start Registration. If you do not see the 'Start Registration' button, you may need to troubleshoot the issue that is preventing your enrollment.

If the course you wish to enroll in has specific prerequisites, you can request an override for those requirements. Once your request is approved, you will receive an email notification, and you will be able to complete your registration. Remember to send any necessary supporting documentation to NWTC.

At any time, you can return to your Saved Schedule to add or remove courses and make edits as needed.

• Select your section and click Save. To add an additional class to your Saved Schedule, select Add Course Sections and search for the class you would like to add.
• If you have added all the courses you'd like, select Done.
• At any time, you can revisit your Saved Schedule to add/remove courses, edit dates and times, etc.

Important Note: A saved schedule does not guarantee registration; it only saves your selections. If you have created a saved schedule, you will still need to officially enroll after you have selected all classes.

Step 4

• After you have created your Saved Schedule, your next step is to enroll. Please note that you will need to wait until the registration window is open for you. 
• If you are done adding classes to your saved schedule, click on Start Registration.

If you have previously created a saved schedule and will be enrolling at a later date, please review the class information before enrolling. Classes may have changed or been updated since your initial schedule was saved, and students are not notified of these changes, even if the class is still in the saved schedule

• To find your Saved Schedules, you can log in to your Student Portal and click View Saved Schedules.
• In the next screen, you will see all the Saved Schedules you have created. You will need to click Register next to the saved schedule you want to enroll.
• If you do not see the Register option, it is because the registration has not opened for the term selected.
• If the course you wish to enroll in has prerequisites, you may need to request a prerequisite override. Please send us a copy of your transcripts and/or test scores to transcripts@nwtc.edu and follow these instructions to request an override for a class prerequisite. Otherwise, click Enroll.
