UM uses a process called Core Course Registration in which new freshmen (not transfers) do not register themselves but are instead registered for classes by their advisors after they have completed specific tasks from Admissions. These tasks are communicated in the Slate portal as an Admitted Student Checklist to follow. Learn more about how Core Course Registration works.
