Each term, students can register and find the course schedule within the Self-Service system. Classes are filled according to the following priority order:
To avoid late registration fees, continuing students must register using the portal before the first day of the term. An email is sent to students when the course schedule becomes available. Students can also use the portal to add and drop courses during the add/drop periods. Students should ensure registration accuracy by reviewing their schedule on the portal. This process differs for students in programs where batch registration occurs.
Many Rush University students are batch registered each term by the Office of the Registrar. Students who are not batch registered will need to self-register via Student Planning within the Self-Service system. In some cases, a student may need to self-register for certain coursework, even if they are batch registered into their core program requirements (details are included in the below chart). Students will be notified by email at their Rush email account when registration opens for a given term.
The Office of the Registrar is unable to register students who have registration holds.
Please refer to the chart below to determine how you will be registered each term.
Please note, the schedule contains lines for each course’s room assignments, which sometimes are not finalized. When courses have multiple room assignments per date, students should contact their program to retrieve individualized schedules.
For important dates, please visit the Academic Calendar page.
