Course Signup & Registration
Student Petition Course Request Period – Saturday,
May 8th- Tuesday, May

Students log into https://webadvising.union.edu to request consideration
for petition
courses (as designated by
the “Y” in the petition column on the
course schedule.) with
the exception of courses in the Computer Science
department
(see below for special
instructions.)
Faculty
Decision Period – Wednesday,
May 12th - Monday, May
17th
Instructors review
the signup information and
select students based
on predetermined
criteria.
Approved students are changed by the department to “Faculty Accepted.”
Students not accepted are changed to “Denied Request”
or “Waitlisted”
depending on their
placement by
the department.
Student Petition Acceptance Period – Tuesday, May
18th – Thursday, May 20th
Students
log back into Webadvising to view
the status of the course(s) they
requested and change
the ones that are marked “Faculty Approved” to “Student
Accepted.”
If you are
approved for a course that you do not intend to register
for, PLEASE change the
status to “Not needed by
Student”
so the department can admit an alternate student.
Students still need to
register for the course online once their appointment time comes.
Please note: “Student Accepted” is the only status that will
allow you to register for the
course.
If students do not register for a petition course that they accept,
the
department, at
their
discretion, may give their space to another student
on the waitlist after the
conclusion of prescheduling appointments.
*******FOR COMPUTER
SCIENCE PETITION COURSES ONLY******** Monday, May
10th – Friday
May 14th
Students
wishing
to request
a petition for a computer science (CSC) course, will need to log directly into
Self Service -> Student
Planning instead of Webadvising during
the week of May 10
– May 14th. Students will go to the Course Catalog,
select Computer Science and add the appropriate Fall 2021 section to their course plan.
They will be asked if they want
to “waitlist” the course. This
will be the equivalent
of requesting a petition in Webadvising. The computer
science department
will get
a report
of students interested in a seat
in one of their petition
courses and will
evaluate them.
Accepted students will
be
notified via email of their approval. If
approved, students will be able to
register for the course when their
registration time opens.
Students should refer
to Student
Planning for their appointment time and
day. Registration
appointments for students
commence on Monday, May 24th.
Your adviser will “clear you” to register
on Student Planning after discussing your fall course choices.
Students will also see any other holds (financial, health, failure to
declare a
major, etc.) on Student Planning. Students
are not allowed
to preschedule
if they have holds on their account although they will be allowed to participate in the petition process,
including requesting
CSC courses.
