Prepare for Registration
Before you register, make sure you’re ready by ticking off these important steps:
- Clear Any Holds
Holds such as outstanding debts, missing immunizations, or advising requirements could block your registration. Unsure if you have any holds? Check at myGSU or in the upper right corner of your self-service account. - Meet with Your Academic Advisor
Advisors play a crucial role in ensuring you’re taking the right courses to stay on track for graduation. Schedule an appointment to review your academic plan and make sure you’re registering for the classes you need. - Check Prerequisites
Before enrolling, confirm you’ve met the prerequisites for your chosen courses. Visit www.govst.edu/prerequisite or contact your advisor with questions.
Why Register Early?
Early registration gives you the best chance to secure spots in your preferred classes and avoid stress closer to the semester start. Classes can fill up quickly, especially high-demand courses, so don’t wait!
Your academic success starts with planning, and Governors State University is here to support you every step of the way. Take the time to meet with your advisor, clear any holds, and register for classes now—Spring 2025 is your opportunity to move closer to your goals!
