College of Arts & Sciences
Class of 2029 course registration is now open and is due June 16. Please note that course selection is not a first-come, first-served process.
Selecting Your First-semester Courses
Signing up for your first-semester courses is as easy as 1-2-3. Follow the three steps below – learn, ask and select.
Step 1: Learn
There are many resources available to help you learn about the College of Arts & Sciences (CAS) and your courses.
- Attend (or watch a recording of) the CAS Webinar. The webinar will take place on Tuesday, April 22, at 7 p.m. Registration is not required. Follow this link for the webinar.
- Review the material in the CAS First-year Moodle page.
- Sign up for your CAS Mentor Collective one-on-one peer mentor (if you haven't been matched with a mentor already).
- Specific information about courses can be found in several areas:
- Model First-semester Programs
- Course Information for First-year Students
- General University requirements and specific major requirements in the course catalog
Step 2: Ask
Asking questions and seeking assistance is an essential part of the learning process. Once you have attended or watched the CAS webinar and reviewed the Moodle page, it's time to meet with your First-year Summer Adviser. You can find your adviser and their contact information in the First-year Advising Gadget in myBucknell. You can also visit our FAQ page to see if the information you need can be found there.
Here are a few of the most frequently asked questions:
- Residential Colleges vs. Foundation Seminars? Please visit the Residential Colleges website or contact rescollege@bucknell.
- About a specific major or courses in a department? Contact the appropriate person in the Class of 2029 Department Contact List. A list of department contacts will be posted in late spring to early summer.
- AP credit or dual-enrollment credit? Please review transfer credit information or contact registrar@bucknell.edu.
You may still have questions after viewing the FAQ and meeting with your summer adviser, and that's OK. Additional questions may be directed fycas@bucknell.edu or 570-577-3293.
Your CAS Mentor Collective peer mentor can also be helpful for questions unrelated to academic advising.
Step 3: Select
Now you're prepared to complete the online registration for your courses. Please note that course selection is not first-come, first-served. The Registrar's Office will begin all course entry after June 16, so there is no need to rush.
