Choosing Classes:

Course descriptions are available on-line via the College of Engineering bulletin. There you will find general information about each class listed by specific department. Please keep in mind that not all courses are offered every semester.  

After you select the classes you are interested in taking, make note of the subject code and the course number for each class. For example, "EECS 487" would be a complete subject code and course number.  EECS is the subject code, and 487 is the course number.  You will need this information to see if the class will be offered during the appropriate semester. 

If you have difficulty finding the appropriate courses, the advisor in your department can assist you after you arrive on campus.

Course Availability:

In order to see if a particular class is available, you will need to check the on-line course registration website. Use the following steps to see if the class is available in a particular semester and what time it will meet during that semester.

1. Go to http://wolverineaccess.umich.edu/
2. Click UM Course Catalog located beneath the 'Public' heading.
3. Click View Schedule of Classes .
4. Use the Select a Term tab to specify the desired term and click Search.
5. You can now search for courses by subject code, catalog number or course description.  There is also an Advanced Search option that allows you to search for classes by class number, days of the week the class meets, time the class meets, and the instructor's last name.
6. Click Search once you have specified your search criteria.
7. A Course List of all the courses for that subject code will appear. Scroll down until you find the course number you would like to take.  Click List All Sections.
8. The class sections for that course will appear on the screen. For some courses there will be only one section offered, and for others there will be more than one section listed. If more than one section is listed, then you can choose whichever section best fits your schedule. For each section you will see the day and time the course meets.  Some courses have required lab or discussion sections in addition to the lecture.  When selecting classes make sure that you remember these important components.
9. Important: pay attention to the "Status" for each course and section.  If Status is "Open" then you will be able to enroll in the course.  If Status for the section you wish to take is "Closed", you must choose a different section of the same course.  If there are no open sections for a course, then you will need special permission to take the course.  This special permission is called an "Override".  To find out more about overrides, go to How to Register.
