- Registration for spring classes takes place in November each year.
- Registration for fall classes takes place in April each year.
All science and engineering majors have advisor holds placed on their student accounts each semester before registration takes place. Advisor holds are lifted once students meet with their faculty advisor to go over the classes they plan to take in the upcoming semester. It is important that students set enough time aside before they register for classes to meet with their faculty advisors.
You can view your registration status by logging on to PROWL. Click on "Registration" and then click on "Prepare for Registration". Select the term you want registration information for and click submit. Your registration status will indicate when you will be able to sign up for your fall/spring classes.

You will need to fill out a transfer course review form online and wait to hear back from the registrar’s office before signing up for the course. The Registrar's Office confirms whether courses are transferrable as core or major credits and whether they satisfy lower-division credit or upper-division credit.
- Note LMU’s policy regarding concurrent enrollment: LMU degree-seeking students may not enroll at another institution while enrolled at LMU (during fall and spring semesters) to transfer credits.
- Once you have completed the course, send your official transcript with your final grade to LMU’s Registrar’s Office for posting.

You qualify for a unit overload if you are in good academic standing and have a minimum 3.50 GPA. If you would like to participate in a unit overload petition, please fill out a unit overload petition online.
Unit overload forms will be sent to the registrar’s office after grades are released, pending a 3.5 semester GPA.
Unit overload petitions are processed two weeks before the start of the semester. You will want to be strategic about which class you will hold off on registering for until unit overload forms are professed. You want to pick something that you are guaranteed you will be able to take in the coming term.
