Registration Rules
Review the list of available classes for Spring 2025. All Spring 2025 courses offered will be held in-person. Courses not on this list are not available to non-Kellogg students. Registration requests will be accepted from Friday, March 14 12:00 PM through Friday, March 21 at 12:00 PM.
Kellogg’s Spring Quarter Starts: Monday, March 31, 2025
We will process class registration requests on a first-come, first-served basis from March 24, 2025, and can take place up until March 30, 2025. Registration requests for students with registration holds will not be processed. All classes open to non-Kellogg students have a limited number of seats available. Kellogg students will be actively adding and dropping enrollments during this registration period, and thus some classes may close before the final registration deadline. We will be processing all registration requests in the order in which they are received. Students will have the option to list a back-up request in case their first-choice selection fills.
If a seat is available at the time of processing, we will register the student in the course and send a confirmation to the student.
If there is a hold on your record the enrollment will not be processed, so we ask that you please make sure all holds (health, billing, Emergency contact information, etc...) are cleared before submitting your request.
Kellogg faculty do not have authority to approve non-Kellogg student enrollment outside this process. Students who request Kellogg Professor approval to enroll in a course not on the list will not be accommodated.
The firm deadline for submitting your request for the Spring 2025 is Friday, March 21, 2025 at 12:00PM. No exceptions can be made.
