Freshman Course Planning

Planning Your Fall Semester Schedule

The first semester registration process is designed to create a schedule that balances your input with our expertise to ensure you are set up for success to set you on a path toward graduation. Our advising team will use the information you provide to prepare your schedule.

Complete the Freshman Course Planning Form by Sunday, May 15, to be registered first for classes by our Advising Team. You do not need to log in to RavenZone to complete the form, but you will need to access RavenZone to view your proposed schedule.

For those who submit their Freshman Course Planning Form by May 15, your schedule will be available to view by Monday, May 22. All other schedules will be available approximately two weeks after we receive your Freshman Course Planning Form.

If you are unable to meet the May 15 priority deadline, submit the Freshman Course Planning Form as soon as possible.

Overview

The information you provide will allow us to prepare your proposed fall semester schedule.

In addition to placing you in courses that fulfill requirements within your major or potential major, our Advisors will place you in general education classes that are required to graduate. Don’t worry about class times or days; our advisors will assign you to course sections that do not conflict.

Not sure about what you want to study? Take a few minutes and complete the MyMajors survey to help identify a major at Benedictine that matches your interests and aptitudes. Even if you feel certain about your major, we recommend ALL freshmen take the MyMajors survey before completing the Freshman Course Planning Form.

Students who have accepted a position in one or more of these Programs of Distinction will be placed in the appropriate classes specific to their intended major(s) and program:

  • Honors
  • Gregorian Fellows Leadership
  • Dr. Wangari Maathai STEM Fellows
  • Constitutional Fellows
  • Freedom Fellows

Steps to prepare and view your schedule

  1. Complete the Freshman Course Planning Form. Review questions and answers carefully. You may submit more than one form if corrections are necessary or your academic interests change. Our advisors will use your most recent submission to register you for classes.
  2. View your class schedule in RavenZone. Once you are registered by the Advising Team, you can log in to RavenZone and view your fall semester schedule. All students must have a Username and Password to access the RavenZone portal.

    Please direct any questions regarding your RavenZone login to the Information Technology Department at IThelpdesk@benedictine.edu.

Have questions about or need to request a change to your class schedule?

There are three ways to address any concerns:

  • Attend S.O.A.R. (Summer Orientation, Advising, and Registration). This pre-orientation program is offered June 2-3 or June 9-10. Any adjustment to your schedule will be posted to your RavenZone account after June 19.
  • Request a change to your schedule from May 22 - July 31
  • Meet with an academic advisor during ROC (Raven Orientation Camp) week in late August.
