Freshman orientation will soon be underway on the Twin Cities campus. During orientation, incoming freshmen have the ability to register for both fall 2024 and spring 2025 at the same time, if set up correctly.
For students to be able to register for spring 2025 classes, the Freshman Full Year (FRFY) course attribute must be added to the class. This is done in the UM CCS Maintain Sched of Class page on the Basic Data tab, as seen below.
Classes with the attribute are open for registration but only to students with the “FRFY Freshman Full Year Registration” student group on their record.
If you discover your department missed applying the FRFY attribute to a class, the CCS scheduler should add the attribute in CCS. A daily query identifies those classes with a newly added FRFY attribute, and the requisite stopping them from registering for the class is removed to allow freshmen to register.
