Dear OWU Parents and Families, Spring 2026 course registration is fast approaching, and you can play an important role by encouraging your student to prepare. The most critical step for them is to meet with their faculty advisor for guidance on course selection and to get authorized to register. Spring 2026 courses are already visible now on Self-Service, but students can begin adding courses to their online carts once Spring 2026 Pre-Registration opens on Wednesday, October 8, 2025. The official registration window opens based on the number of OWU units your student has completed (not those in progress):
- Seniors (23+ units completed): Opens Monday, October 27, 2025
- Juniors (15-22.99 units completed): Opens Monday, November 3, 2025
- Sophomores (7-14.99 units completed): Opens Monday, November 10, 2025
- Freshmen (0-6.99 units) completed: Opens Monday, November 17, 2025
For more details on the registration process, including information on holds and waitlists, please see the Spring 2026 Registration Guide.
