Schedule Searching

There have been a number of changes to the method that students will use to locate courses in the class schedule.  The schedule can be accessed through my.PennWest.  Click on Student Self-Service, Student Profile, Registration and then “Browse Class Schedule” to begin. 

Browse Classes

All searches should begin with selecting your home campus.  For online courses only, select the Online campus.

Subject prefixes for all courses have a leading A – California, C – Clarion or E – Edinboro to help students identify the location.  Additionally, each subject has a trailing – CAL, CLA or EDI to ensure that students are selecting the appropriate version of the subject.

Section numbers appearing after the course number also represent the location of the course.   

Students who are wishing to register for a course at another campus may require a permit override from the department to be able to register for the course.  Some courses have space restrictions based on campuses.  Permit overrides for restricted courses may be requested to the department offering the course.

Degree Works Audit

Students should access their Degree Works Audit via my.pennwest.edu, click on the Degree Works link on the Student Quick Access card.

Wait List

Need to add a course to the wait list, or register a wait listed course? The following instructions are specific to Cal U and VIP, however, the functionality is the same in PennWest:

Please remember that once you have received a wait list email notification you will have 48 hours to register yourself for the course.  If you do not, then you will be dropped from the wait list.
