The Archway Schedule of Course information is in real-time format and
will reflect any changes and updates to course information.
The Archway is not available between the hours of 2am and 6am daily

3. Registration Appointments
All students are assigned a registration time each semester, to ensure fair
access to classes. Student records are sorted by anticipated degree date
and then completed credit hours.
The College uses anticipated completion date to identify students by their
graduating class. This date refers to the May commencement ceremony in
which you are most likely to participate.
Your registration day and time indicates when you can BEGIN to register.
You do not need to register exactly at your assigned time. You can register
at, or anytime after, your assigned time.

4. Advisor Approval
All students must have advisor approval PRIOR to registering
online.
Your academic advisor is prepared to assist you in registering
for classes that meet your interests and needs.
In preparation for your meeting, you are encouraged to review
your Program Evaluation and the schedule of classes on
Archway.

5. Using Program Evaluation:
You may find the Program Evaluation feature helpful in
planning your schedule. The Program Evaluation will help you
determine which degree requirements have been completed
and identify those that must still be met. Select "Program
Evaluation" on The Archway. You may evaluate your programs
that are currently declared or run a "what if?" scenario with
different majors. My.mcdaniel.edu
