Q. How do I find out which courses are being offered and when?
A. You can view the full University schedule (including Ross and non-Ross courses) on Wolverine Access, or via the Office of the Registrar, which has a helpful .CSV file version that can be downloaded and filtered for Ross classes with sections numbered 801-805 to view those classes available for Online MBA students.
Q. Do I have to take a class in my first term?
A. Yes. New students MUST register for and complete at least one course in the first term they are admitted.
Core Requirements: Get Set!
Q. What are my core requirements?
A. Review the core curriculum for Online MBA students. Make sure that you are aware of your requirements and register for them in advance of when you plan to graduate. It is YOUR responsibility to make sure you are registering for and completing the appropriate courses. If you have not fulfilled all of your core requirements, you will not graduate.
Q. How can I keep track of which core requirements I have or haven’t completed?
A. Review your Academic Requirements on Wolverine Access to see a live degree audit of your record, or schedule a Graduate Student Degree Audit Check appointment with an Academic Advisor. Advisors are happy to talk with Online MBAs in person or via phone or Google Hangouts – simply schedule an appointment using the online system.
Q. Can I waive core?
A. Yes. Review the Core Course Waiver information for details.
General Registration: Go!
In your first semester you will be enrolled in ACC 533 in the first half term. You will register for any additional courses on Wolverine Access using the University’s general registration process. Please refer to How to Add & Drop Classes for more detailed registration instructions.
Q. When is my registration appointment time?
A. As an Online MBA student, you will be able to register for both core and elective courses once registration opens. You will have a registration appointment assigned to you and will be able to begin registering sometime between April 3-5. You can view your appointment day/time on Wolverine Access beginning March 27.
Q. Do I have to register exactly at my appointment time, and when does my registration close?
A. You do not need to register exactly at your appointment time. Once your appointment time opens, you can continue to make changes until the drop/add deadlines for that term.
Q. What else can I do using Wolverine Access?
