New Student Class Registration

At BGSU, students are assigned an Academic Advisor and Planner as part of their journey of becoming a Falcon. Our advisors support you in achieving academic, personal and professional goals and work with you to develop an ongoing partnership during Orientation to ensure this partnership continues throughout your time at the University. 

Signing up for your Classes

BGSU CCP Students: If you are a student taking BGSU CCP classes, you may register for next semester on the enrollment date listed in your MyBGSU student account. New to BGSU students will follow the “Future Freshman” registration process according to the Orientation you are attending.

Freshmen (In-person Orientation): During orientation, you will meet with a staff member from the academic advising and planning team to work on your class schedule. Your appointment time will be given to you when you arrive at orientation. Meanwhile, please start submitting any completed college credit or AP scores to the BGSU Office of Admissions.

Freshmen (Virtual Orientation): During virtual orientation, you will meet with a staff member from the academic advising and planning team to work on your class schedule.

These placements should be completed prior to orientation by the specific deadlines included on each placement’s website link.
