Common Issues with Registration

Use the Troubleshooting Console to look at a single course section. Other potential issues preventing a student’s registration entirely that may need to be checked are: 

  • Action Items or incomplete Tasks: Have the student check their homepage, under Awaiting Your Action, or the My Tasks inbox at the top right of their portal. The student may have tasks that require completion before they can register (ex., Accept terms and conditions of their program of study, accept financial aid, pay a past due balance, provide a requested document, etc). For staff/faculty/advisors, action items and holds can be viewed from the student’s Profile under the Action Items and Holds section.  
  • Actions to do in Registration Requirements: The student may have additional action items to complete that are directly related to registration. These tasks will appear on their Academics App in the Registration Requirements table. These tasks may be holds or incomplete tasks that feed from their My Tasks inbox. This table will list actions to do with a resolution. 
  • Holds: The student may have holds that prevent registration. These holds will appear on their Academics App in the Registration Requirements and Holds tables. The Holds table will list the hold description with a resolution (e.g., the student has an unpaid past-due balance.) For staff/faculty/advisors, action items and holds can be viewed from the student’s Profile under the Action Items and Holds section. 
  • Registration Appointment: The student may be trying to register outside their date window, referred to in Workday as a Registration Appointment. This is not a physical appointment they must attend; it is simply the date range they can register for each term. The student can find their registration appointment from their Academics App under the Registration Appointment table.

Effective Date in Workday vs. Catalog Year

Catalog years have been replaced with Effective Dates in Workday. You can still determine what catalog is applied to a student’s program(s) of study from their Academic Progress Report (APR) in a student’s profile under the Academics section. When viewing a student’s APR, the ‘catalog’ applied to the student’s program of study requirements will be at the top of the Major Requirements; you will see “Requirements Effective” and a date. The corresponding catalog year applied to the program of study is determined by the date range of the Effective Date in which the data resides.

See the table below to determine the catalog year crossover: 

Previously known catalog year applied Effective date range in Workday
Catalog 2018–2019 and any prior 07/01/1991 - 08/23/2019
Catalog 2019-2020 08/24/2019 - 08/23/2020
Catalog 2020-2021 08/24/2020 - 08/23/2021
Catalog 2021-2022 08/24/2021 - 07/31/2022
Catalog 2022-2023 08/01/2022 - 07/30/2023
Catalog 2023-2024 07/21/2023 - 07/28/2024
Catalog 2024-2025 07/29/2024 - 07/28/2025

The applied catalog year can be changed easily. If you are an advisor and believe the student’s major requirements must be evaluated under a different catalog year, contact registrar@fortlewis.edu to make the change.  

Different catalog years can be applied to other programs of study. For example, a student with a double major can apply a specific catalog year to one major and a different catalog year to the other. 

How do I help students drop a class during registration?

Students can drop their classes easily and instantly from their Academics app during open registration periods.

  1. Direct the student to their Academics app, located on their Workday home page under Your Top Apps, or from the MENU at the top left of the portal.
  2. From the Academics app, have the student navigate to "View My Courses," located under the Academic Records heading on the task list on the right side of the page.
  3. When the student is in View My Courses, they will see an Actions column and button next to the course section name. Select Actions to see Drop and Swap options (when applicable).
  4. The student can then select the Drop button for the course section they wish to drop. Course sections with multiple available meeting times will also have a Swap option to choose a different meeting time for the same course section.
  5. The student must confirm the drop on the prompted page, select Ok, then Done at the bottom. 
    Note: The Action button will not be visible outside open registration windows.

Once this change is complete, the student can see any dropped classes in a separate list below the current classes table. The student's current courses can also be viewed from their Profile, under the Academics section and the "Current Classes" tab across the top of the section.

How to set the search bar to prioritize student results

If you frequently need to look up students in Workday, you can configure your search results in Workday to bring students up before other result categories.

  1. Type anything in the "Search bar" at the top of your Workday portal and click enter (e.g., "Student"). Do not select a result. This will bring you to a full "Search Results" page.
  2. Select the “All Categories” button at the top of the page. Then select “Edit Category Preferences.”
  3. Drag and drop categories from the Unpinned Categories block to the Pinned Categories at the top to prioritize what results you want to see when you use the search bar. The first category will appear and be prioritized with additional Pinned Categories. To prioritize student names, drag the "Student" category into the Pinned Categories block in the order you want to see it. (For example, set your Pinned Categories to People (employee) results first, Tasks and Reports, then Student.)
  4. Select "Save" when done.

This configuration now removes the need to type “Student:” in the search bar before entering a student’s name.
