After you have met with your advisor, use the registration worksheet to plan your schedule. Be sure to list the 5-digit course call number from the printed Class Schedule or Online Class Schedule for each course for which you plan to register.

Note: You might want to develop an alternate schedule in the event of closed classes.

Before signing up for classes, you are strongly encouraged to contact your academic advisor.  If you do not know the name of your advisor, contact the Academic Success Center for help at 615-230-3702 (toll-free: 1-888-335-8722, extension, 3702) or by emailing academic.success@volstate.edu.  Students who do not have a major or are not seeking a degree should contact the Academic Success Center for advising.
