Students to begin course planning

Graphic by Hailey Schweitzer | The Doane Owl

The Spring 2025 course schedule has been released and is available on Self-Service for students to start their academic planning. The process for signing up for classes is relatively streamlined and easy to do.

First, students need to plan their courses in Self-Service. They can pick the exact classes and timeslots that work best for them and their degree. Second, students can request advisor approval of their schedule, secure their classes, and register for classes immediately the moment the registration window opens up. Planning your courses will not enroll you. You have to hit the Register button when your time frame opens up.

The time frames for registration are as follows. Seniors (90+ credits already earned) can register on Oct. 30, juniors (60-89 credits already earned) can register on Oct.31 through Nov. 1, sophomores (30-59 credits already earned) can register on Nov. 4 through 5 and freshmen (0-29 credits already earned) can register on Nov. 6 through 8. All honors students are able to register for classes one grade level above what their credit standing is.

The Registrar’s Office reminds students to make sure to pick the correct term “2025 Spring: Crete Campus.” The Non-Residential Campus and Graduate Education also use Academic Planning for registration. Also eight-week online courses have a section number labeled ONL1 for the first eight weeks or ONL2 for the second eight weeks.

Any questions or concerns about class registration can be directed to the Registrar’s Office email at registraroffice@doane.edu or students can consult the guide to registration if they check the email in their inbox about class registration sent out by the Registrar’s Office.
