Welcome to Gonzaga!
This website provides enrollment and registration information for new incoming students for the Fall 2024 term. You can find current information on this site under the First Semester Schedules tab. If you have a question at any time, please reach out!
The information below pertains to new students only.
Congratulations on your acceptance as a Gonzaga University student for the Fall 2024 entering class! The Office of Academic Advising & Assistance is here to help you get started on your academic journey, with your enrollment in your first semester courses. Read on for instructions and information to get started today!
The professional advisors in Academic Advising & Assistance (AAA) play a very important role in your transition to University life. Our mission, to "support students in pursuit of their academic success," begins with the construction of your first Gonzaga University class schedule.
Here's how it works:
Throughout the summer: Check your email accounts and read/respond!
Communication is so important to the process of enrolling you - just as much as you need to be informed, we also need information from you. So please, check your email accounts daily and read/respond to messages from advise@gonzaga.edu.
You should all receive information regarding your Gonzaga email account in the postal mail 7-10 days after paying your confirmation deposit. Your Gonzaga email is the official means of communication the University will use to send you important information. As soon as possible, log into your account and start checking this email on a regular, daily, basis.
Step One: Educate yourself on Gonzaga's degree requirements and programs.
Once you pay your confirmation deposit, you will be emailed a video and instructions. Watch this video and answer the knowledge check questions throughout before you complete the Academic Interest Survey.
Step Two: Complete the online Academic Interest Survey (AIS) no later than June 9th.
The AIS is sent to your personal email once you pay your confirmation deposit. The AIS provides us with vital information needed to enroll you accurately for your first semester courses. We cannot register you without it! Please allow yourself enough time to view the video and answer the questions (10-15 minutes), complete the AIS (20-60 minutes), and any follow-up assessments as soon as possible to avoid registration delays.
If you need assistance setting up you Gonzaga Email, please contact the IT help desk at 509-313-5550.
Step Three: If asked, Complete Placement Assessments no later than June 16th!
Many of you will be asked to take Mathematics and/or Second Language placement assessments following the completion of your Academic Interest Survey. These assessments are due by June 16th. Information, including specific deadlines, will be sent to you via email, and like the AIS, we cannot register you without them! If you are required to complete a placement assessment, your schedule cannot be released until the assessment is complete. Not all students will be asked to complete these. If you don't get an email from us, we don't need your placement assessment. Rest assured, we will contact students who do need to complete these until we have the information on hand.
Step Four: Please, be patient while we work.
Over the summer, the professional advisors in AAA will schedule you for your first semester courses. We do this using our advising knowledge and expertise, along with the information you provide in the AIS and, if applicable, placement assessments. We have a lot of information to decipher and consider when scheduling the incoming class. The process takes time because we want to make sure it's done well! We will have your schedule finalized no later than August 8th, and will notify you via email. Until then, your schedule will be subject to change as we balance the competing demands and scheduling intricacies of registering 1,200+ individual students. If you have a question, check the FAQs first. Still have questions? Contact us. To learn more, visit our Schedule Changes page and review the directions posted there.
