Step 5: Register for Classes

Registration for Summer 2025 will open February 24. Fall 2025 registration will open in late March and early April.

Attend a New Student Registration event

Admitted students are strongly encouraged to attend a New Student Registration (NSR) event between March and June, 2025. Several events are planned, and admitted students can sign up for an event in the Admitted Student Portal.

Register with an advisor

If an NSR event is not possible, admitted students are encouraged to schedule an advising and registration appointment with a staff advisor after your transfer credit evaluation is complete. Contact the BSU Advising Center to schedule a time that works for you, after your registration window opens. 

Register on your own

If you know which classes you need and are ready to register on your own, please start here: MyBSU Registration Information. If you choose this option, it is highly recommended that you double-check your first semester classes with an advisor after registering.

Before registration, we recommend looking through the Semester Start Guide resources.

Next steps:

Email and student accounts

It’s very important for you to begin checking your BSU email account and exploring your other student accounts if you haven’t already. BSU email, eServices, and D2L Brightspace are linked on the MyBSU page here.

Campus housing

Living on campus means close access to services and a higher rate of academic success. Submit your Housing Application early to ensure you get the residence hall and room you want.

Immunization form

Minnesota requires all students (including online/off-site students) to have documentation of up-to-date immunization against tetanus/diphtheria (Td) and measles/mumps/rubella (MMR), with the exception of students who graduated from a Minnesota high school in 1997 or later. Complete and submit the Immunization Form.

Sexual Violence Prevention Training (SVPT)

The SVPT program provides critical information about responsible behaviors and decision-making regarding non-discrimination, dating and relationships violence, and harassment. You should see the SVPT training module in your D2L Brightspace account. Take the training as early as possible to avoid registration holds.
