Your Initial Class Schedule

The Registrar’s Office will construct your initial class schedule in early August, using information including: (1) the Schedule Preference Sheet that you completed for Admissions; (2) your Advanced Placement and International Baccalaureate score reports; (3) your transcripts from other colleges and universities; (4) your performance on the Hillsdale Language Placement examination, if taken, and; (5) Hillsdale’s core curriculum scheduling guidelines. 

If you plan to pursue the Bachelor of Arts degree by taking a modern or classical language at Hillsdale College, it is required that you take our Placement Test if you possess any current proficiency in that language. 

Please be sure that you have sent your most current college transcripts and/or score reports to our Admissions Office.

Once constructed, your initial class schedule will be available to you in Self Service, under the Student Planning menu. We ask that you not request changes to your schedule unless you have been enrolled in a course for which credit was already given or is expected.

Further, we ask that you not attempt to make changes to your schedule through Self Service. During Orientation, you will have the opportunity to make changes to your schedule with the guidance of your Faculty advisor. More information will be provided at Orientation regarding procedures for making schedule changes.
