There are three ways you can register for classes at UA Little Rock in Workday beginning Fall 2025. To see how each method works, review the step-by-step quick reference guides and/or videos for each method below:
- Register from Academic Plan: Your academic plan is a semester-by-semester guide that shows which courses you should take and when. View the Register From Academic Plan Quick Reference Guide or watch the Register from Plan demo video.
- Register from a Saved Schedule: If you have created a schedule previously and saved it in Workday, you can go to it and start registration. View the Register from Saved Schedule Quick Reference Guide or watch the Create and Register from Saved Schedule demo video.
- Register from Find Course Section Report: This is the method you’ll use if, while searching for a particular course section, you decide you want to register for it. View the Register from Find Course Section Report Quick Reference Guide.
