To make such a request, you must complete and submit the&nbsp;<a href=\"\/academics\/core-curriculum\/core-course-waivers\">BE&nbsp;300&nbsp;Core Course&nbsp;Waiver&nbsp;form<\/a>&nbsp;to the Ross Registrar\u2019s Office (<a href=\"mailto:rossregistrarsoffice@umich.edu\">rossregistrarsoffice@umich.edu<\/a>)&nbsp;<strong>by the end of your Junior Winter term.<\/strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;Please note: this&nbsp;waiver&nbsp;signifies that you have met competency in the material and does not grant credit.&nbsp;Therefore, if you waive BE&nbsp;300, you will&nbsp;need to complete additional business coursework to earn the 62.0 credits required for&nbsp;the&nbsp;BBA degree. If you have any questions about this&nbsp;waiver&nbsp;option and\/or your remaining degree requirements, please&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.bus.umich.edu\/iMpact\/CounselingCalendar\/Default.aspx?umbs_dept_id=80\">contact your academic advisor<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"generalregistration\"><strong>General Registration<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>After the Ross Registrar&#8217;s Office enrolls you in your 10.5 credits of&nbsp;core with your section, you will use the general registration process on <a href=\"http:\/\/wolverineaccess.umich.edu\/\">Wolverine Access<\/a> to register for the remainder of your Fall schedule.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"When%20is%20my%20registration%20appointment%20time?\"><strong>Q. When is my registration appointment time?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>A.<\/strong>&nbsp;The University assigns registration appointment times for undergraduate students beginning on&nbsp;<strong>Monday, March 30<\/strong>.&nbsp;The times are determined by the credits completed, and then are randomly assigned.&nbsp;You can view your assigned time on <a href=\"http:\/\/wolverineaccess.umich.edu\">Wolverine Access<\/a> starting <strong>Wednesday, March 18<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"Do%20I%20need%20to%20use%20the%20backpack%20feature%20on%20Wolverine%20Access%20before%20registration%20opens?\"><strong>Q. Do I need to use the backpack feature on Wolverine Access before registration opens?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>A.<\/strong>&nbsp;We recommend using it, but it is not required. Beginning <strong>Wednesday, March<\/strong> <strong>18<\/strong>, you can add classes to your &#8220;Backpack&#8221; in&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/wolverineaccess.umich.edu\">Wolverine Access<\/a>. Backpacking courses allows you to quickly add those classes all at once when your registration appointment time opens. However, be aware that backpacking does not reserve a seat for you in the class &#8211; it is simply a way to put the course in your &#8220;shopping cart&#8221; so that you can &#8220;check-out&#8221; quickly. If a class in your backpack is full when your registration time opens, you may waitlist yourself, and\/or select an alternate open class at that time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"Do%20I%20have%20to%20register%20exactly%20at%20my%20appointment%20time,%20and%20when%20does%20my%20registration%20close?\"><strong>Q. Do I have to register exactly at my appointment time, and when does my registration close?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>A.<\/strong>&nbsp;Some classes will fill quickly, or seats may be opened to non-Ross students after registration has been open for a week or more, so it is to your advantage to register when your appointment time opens. Once your appointment time opens, you can continue to make changes until the <a href=\"\/academics\/registration-dates\">drop\/add deadlines<\/a> for Fall&nbsp;2026.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"corecourseswapinfo\"><strong>Core Course Swap Info<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"Which%20courses%20and%20sections%20of%20my%20core%20courses%20am%20I%20eligible%20to%20swap?\"><strong>Q. Which courses and sections of my core courses am I eligible to swap?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>A.&nbsp;<\/strong>The Fall term of Junior year integrates four core courses in which a significant portion of each course will rely and build upon the other subjects and may include joint events and shared projects. To fully maximize the learning experience in these integrated courses, students are&nbsp;<strong>strongly encouraged to remain in their assigned sections<\/strong>. However, we recognize that some students may need to swap sections in order to accommodate dual degrees and minors. Note that course sections are linked and cannot be separated.&nbsp;<strong>Students requesting a course swap for BL 300, MO 300, or TO 313&nbsp;must swap all&nbsp;4 courses. If a student only wants to swap BCOM 350, they must swap into a section that corresponds to their other core course sections.&nbsp;<\/strong> Below is a list of which BCOM 350 sections correspond with which assigned BBA sections:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Section 001 for BL 300, MO 300, and TO 313 = BCOM 350 sections 001, 009, or 017<br>Section 002 for BL 300, MO 300, and TO 313 = BCOM 350 sections 002, 010, or 018<br>Section 003 for BL 300, MO 300, and TO 313 = BCOM 350 sections 003, 011, or 019<br>Section 004 for BL 300, MO 300, and TO 313 = BCOM 350 sections 004, 012, or 020<br>Section 005 for BL 300, MO 300, and TO 313 = BCOM 350 sections 005, 013, or 021<br>Section 006 for BL 300, MO 300, and TO 313 = BCOM 350 sections 006, 014, or 022<br>Section 007 for BL 300, MO 300, and TO 313 = BCOM 350 sections 007, 015, or 023<br>Section 008 for BL 300, MO 300, and TO 313 = BCOM 350 sections 008, 016, or 024<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"I%20need%20to%20swap%20a%20course.%20%20What%20do%20I%20do%20next?\"><strong>Q. I need to swap a course. What do I do next?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>A.&nbsp;<\/strong>Students who would like to swap a course will need to complete and submit the Core Course Swap Request Form.&nbsp;This form will ask you to indicate which sections of a course will work in your schedule. We will match requests one to one on a first-come, first-serve basis, conditional on availability of a match. The more sections you indicate as working in your schedule, the more likely your swap will be completed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To submit a swap request is to&nbsp;<em>commit to swap&nbsp;<\/em>and, once a swap has been processed and permissions to enroll in the new section have been entered into Wolverine Access, the commitment to swap is complete and the student&nbsp;<em>must switch sections<\/em>.&nbsp; Since the student&#8217;s original seat is given to another student during the swap processing, any student wanting back into his\/her original section after swaps have been processed will need to submit another swap request.&nbsp; Please note that, although swap requests are processed regularly, there is no guarantee that a swap request will be processed, and students are encouraged to have a back-up plan in place in consultation with their academic advisor.<br><br><em>Important note: If your requested swap is processed, it will not change your assigned section for subsequent terms.  Section swaps are for one semester only and you will revert to your previously assigned section for future terms.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"How%20long%20will%20it%20take%20to%20complete%20the%20swap?%20%20How%20long%20do%20I%20have%20to%20submit%20the%20form?\"><strong>Q. How long will it take to complete the swap? How long do I have to submit the form?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>A.&nbsp;<\/strong>This depends on the number of swap requests received, as well as whether or not there are eligible swap partners in the pool.&nbsp; <em>The&nbsp;link to the course swap request form will be posted at the bottom of this page on April 10.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"What%20should%20I%20do%20if%20I%20have%20a%20documented%20conflict?\"><strong>Q.
