Register for Classes at UA Little Rock

To get started with registration, students will need to make sure that they have:

1. Been admitted for the semester in which they intend to sign up for classes.
2. Met with their advisor to begin their degree plan and choose their classes for the semester. This will remove any Advising Hold that may prevent the student from registering for courses in Workday.
3. Access to the Workday system for registration – If the student hasn’t logged into their Workday Student account yet, they should follow the Registration Guide located here.

Once the student has access to their account, there may be additional steps to complete, such as:

• Onboarding Hold – If this is the first time logging into Workday, students will have onboarding tasks they must complete before the Onboarding Flag can be removed.
  
  These tasks can vary from student to student and will complete the student’s profile. The student cannot proceed to the registration process until the onboarding process is complete.
  
• Advising Hold – Once the student completes the onboarding process, most will have an advising hold that must be cleared by their advisor every semester before course registration. Students must meet with their advisor before the hold can be lifted.

Once these holds are removed, most students can register for courses.

Select the “Academics Hub” link from the Home Page, either under the “Your Top Apps” section on the right side or from the “Menu” link in the top left corner of the page.

From here, students can get an overview of both their academic record and their registration status:

In addition to reviewing their current class schedule, students can also review:

1. My Holds – any hold that will block registration will display here. 
2. Important Contacts – students can see their academic advisor’s information here and request an appointment (may vary by department policy for advising).
3. Registration Appointments – this indicates when the student is allowed to register for the upcoming term(s)

From here, students can review their degree plan, see saved schedules or plans, and search for course selections by selecting the “Planning and Registration” option at the bottom of the Academics menu in the top left corner of the page.

PLEASE NOTE:
**The advising hold will not be removed from your account until you have met with your academic advisor. Please visit https://ualr.edu/advising/ to locate your advisor and make an appointment before attempting to register for courses.**

1. Register from an Academic Plan – Your academic plan is a semester-by-semester guide that shows which courses you should take and when.
2. Register from a Saved Schedule – If you have previously created a schedule and saved it in Workday, you can access it and start registration.
3. Register from Find Course Section Report – To register for a particular course section while searching for it.

Complete the following steps to locate the correct course.

1. Institution: Click on the menu icon to the right of the box and select University of Arkansas at Little Rock if not already selected by default.
   
2. Start Date Within: Enter UALR xxxx 20xx to correlate with the correct semester and year (ex, UALR Fall 2025 or UALR Spring 2026). Select the correct result for the student’s semester and year.
   
   PLEASE NOTE: Typing is the best option here; the mouse options default to incorrect results.
   
3. Academic Level: Select the appropriate level for the student
   
   
4. Campus Locations: Unnecessary at this time—there are currently no satellite campuses for UA Little Rock.

Complete the following steps to locate the correct course.

1. Search by Subject Code:
   
   These are four-letter codes that indicate the subject of the course. For example, NURS is nursing, and RELS is Religious Studies. Searching for a subject code by itself will show every course listed under that code
   
2. Search by Course Numbers:
   
   The 5-digit number sequence after the subject code can also be used for searches – searching for “23000,” for example, will bring up every course and subject with that number.
    
3. Search by Course Title:
   
   The title needs to be spelled correctly and be an exact match, or it will not display in search results.
   
4. Search by Keywords:
   
   Even though the Course Title needs to be an exact match, partial keywords can bring up results that can aid in the search. 

The toolbar on the left side of the page can be used to narrow the search by Subject, Open courses only,  Online vs. In-person courses, etc.

PLEASE NOTE:
To use the “Subject” list to refine the search, a correct subject code must be entered (i.e., NURS, RELS, MATH).

In the below figure, see a search for a course using the subject code CRJU (Criminal Justice):
