Registration Workflow
Route student registration requests requiring approval and apply approved changes to a student’s schedule. Learn how to manage your queue, take action on requests and find the right contact for specific request types. For help with registration errors and overrides, explore registration troubleshooting.
Navigating and Filtering Your Queue
Access the Registration Workflow from the link in your daily email notification, or from the Registration Workflow System found on the Advising: Student Record Tools card in myPurdue.
You’ll receive a daily email digest each morning when you have items awaiting action.
Confirm Your Term
Before you start, confirm your term. The system defaults to the future-most active term. If multiple terms are active, update the Term filter before reviewing or taking action. If your Active queue appears empty after confirming campus and term, either you have nothing to approve, or another approver has already taken action.
Change status from Active to All to see completed items, or to Canceled to see items canceled by the student or after a deadline.
Reviewing and Taking Action
Each request appears as a block showing information about the request as well as the student’s identifying information, curricula, term, campus and candidacy status. More information about the student can be found by selecting the (i) Stdnt Info link under their name, including the student’s full unofficial transcript and myPurduePlan. You’ll only see items that need your action, and you can see other approvers that are still pending — their roles appear next to the action buttons.
How Approvals Work
- Approvals happen in parallel, but registration changes aren’t processed until the final approval is received.
- If any approver denies the request, the request stops and no registration activity is processed.
- Request status is indicated by color and label: green (active/no action entered), yellow (escalated/no action entered) and blue (approved). Denials are highlighted in red in the Approval Statuses view.
- All decisions and updates appear in the Comment History.
- To review all approvals, select View Approval Statuses.
- To display all approvers who can take action, select Order Approvers.
