Advising and Registration

Advising appointments are available Monday - Friday between 8:00a and 5:00p.  Appointment times before 8a and after 5p can be made upon request.  Appointments are scheduled for 30 minutes and must be rescheduled if arrival time is 10 minutes beyond the scheduled start time. 

Reasons to schedule an appointment are: 

• Required advising
  • Pre-business or BBA with preprofessional standing
  • Graduation Plan
  • Academic probation 
• Extension forms for international students
• Long term course planning
• College of Business orientations

Students are able to meet with an advisor on a first come, first serve basis Monday - Friday from 9am-4pm.  Drop-ins are intended for quick questions, such as: 

• Registration questions
• Referral to campus resources
• Clarification of policy, procedure or deadline

Your registration date is determined by the corresponding date on the Registration Timetable.                                                                               

• Identify your first day of eligibility.
• Register on-line through the self-service portal.
• You may change your schedule up through the term's add/drop deadline.

Closed Courses

• If a course is full, you are advised to place yourself on the waitlist so that we are able to track students’ needs. 
• If space becomes available and the COB registers you for the class, you will be contacted via your UM-Dearborn email.

If you have a registration hold, you may 'Browse Classes' to view the schedule while you work to have the hold released. 

There are instances when students have a hold on their registration. Any student who has a registration hold must speak with an advisor to have a hold removed prior to registering for an upcoming semester. Students having holds are notified of this by email from the Student Services Office.

Required Advising
BBA students with preprofessional standing and prebusiness students are required to meet with an academic advisor twice a year in order to review their progression toward BBA admission with professional standing. 

• August 1 begins the advising period for winter registration.
• January 1 begins the advising period for summer and fall registration.

Graduation Plans
BBA students with professional standing who are approaching senior standing are required to complete a Graduation Plan. This is a term-by-term course plan which identifies the program requirements still needed for completion of degree requirements and the best course of action to complete them.

Probation
Students whose cumulative, COB, or concentration GPA has dropped below 2.0 are placed on probation. These students are required to speak with an advisor concerning probationary status and sign a probation contract.
