First Year Pre-Registration

Your Academic Journey Begins Here

Selecting your first-semester undergraduate courses is an exciting milestone — the beginning of your academic journey at Nazareth! With so many courses and opportunities available, the process may feel overwhelming, but don’t worry! The Academic Advisement team is here to guide you every step of the way.

The summer academic advising process is structured into five key steps, leading up to course registration.

Step 1: Complete your academic interests survey
Early February – July 7

This required form helps the Academic Advisement team understand your academic interests and goals. You'll confirm your program of study, share information about your background, and identify any pre-college credit (AP, IB, or dual enrollment).

Step 2: Prepare for your first-semester course selection
Mid February - Early May

After submitting your Academic Interests Survey, you'll need to:

  1. Set up your MyNaz Account
  2. Log into NazNet Self-Service
  3. Locate your 7-digit Student ID
Step 3: Start building your fall course schedule
April 20 - June 14

You're ready to start building your first-semester schedule! In this step, you will begin adding courses to your fall plan in Student Planning.

Open the PEQ Guide and the Building Your Schedule Guide below to help select the right courses for your major.

Important:

  • If you'd like to take an active role in choosing some of your courses, please build your schedule by July 7.
  • Prefer to leave this to us? That's okay - one of our professional academic advisors will create a schedule based on your major. Skip these guides and proceed directly to Step 4: Confirm Your Scheduling Plan.

Please note: Schedules for Music, Theatre, and Dance majors will be created by professional advisors who work closely with these programs to ensure appropriate course and performance requirements are met.

Use the resources below to complete the two action steps (available April 20):

  • Action 1: You'll need to use the PEQ Guide to view the correct PEQs for your major. Choose only PEQs that you are sure have approval for your major.
  • Action 2: Access the Building Your Schedule Guide for step-by-step instructions.
Step 4: Confirm Your Scheduling Plan
May 4 - July 7

Submit the form to let us know how you'd like to move forward.

  • You can let us know you've added some or all courses and are ready for us to review and register you, or
  • You can ask Academic Advisement to build your full schedule for you.

You don't need to have a complete or final schedule before submitting this form.

In May through July, the Academic Advisement team will review your course plan, make any necessary adjustments, and register you for a schedule that meets your academic requirements.

Step 5: Finalize the process and review your preliminary schedule
Early June – Early August

To complete the process:

  1. Send official transcripts and test scores (AP, IB, or college credit) to Registration and Records via email to reg@naz.edu
  2. Check your Nazareth email daily for updates on your schedule, orientation, and move-in details (go.naz.edu/google)
  3. Review your schedule once it's available in Student Planning on August 7. Details: Access Your Fall Course Schedule
