Looking ahead to advising and spring course registration
Now that we are past Fall Break, it is time for students to begin thinking about their Spring 2026 class schedule. I am told that Spring courses will be published in Workday tomorrow (Friday, Oct. 17). Students can then start to build their Saved Schedule in Workday.
All students must go through academic advising, which begins on Monday, Oct. 20, to get their advising hold lifted. Students who have not yet declared a major (e.g., first-years and sophomores) will meet with their Lower Division advisor; students with declared majors or minors (e.g., juniors and seniors) will meet with their Major/Minor advisor.
Registration begins on Tuesday, Nov. 4 for students with 87 or more earned hours, with other groups following the remainder of that week. Specific registration appointment dates and times are available for students to view in Workday. Students should also regularly consult the Academic Services Calendar for specific dates and information.
Do you have high school students? Come to the Summer Immersion Program webinar on Oct. 22
This item might be particularly interesting for families who have high school students at home. Wake Forest offers a variety of fascinating summer opportunities for high schoolers: these can help students get acclimated to navigating a college campus, test out potential interests for majors or careers, and make valuable connections to other students and faculty.
There is an upcoming webinar that you may with to join:
“Wake Forest University Pre-College Programs invites prospective students and their families to join us for a Summer Immersion Program virtual information session on Wednesday, Oct. 22, from 7:00 – 8:00 pm EST.
Attendees will have the opportunity to:

For the alumni families reading the Daily Deac, you will want to make note that the kickoff time for Homecoming against SMU has been announced for noon.
The Homecoming website shows all the activities of the weekend. And for those alumni families celebrating reunion years (classes ending in 0s and 5s), you can see all the special reunion class events that are planned for you.
