What's my class standing?

Check your earned credit hours by logging into mysail.oakland.edu and clicking Check Your Registration Status. Select the term you are registering for and your earned credits, any registration permits/overrides and registration time will be displayed. Earned credit hours are the combination of total degree credit hours earned on an Oakland University transcript as of Friday, March 3, 2017. Enrolled credits will not be considered.

Resources

There is a new Registration system for searching the schedule of classes and registering for classes beginning December 2016. This option will be fully integrated before full-year registration in March 2017.

Some of the key features will be:

a brand new, easier to navigate look
better display of class information
multiple registration errors displayed at the same time (currently current registration only displays one error at a time)
conditional add drop, which allows you to simultaneously add and drop a class if both requests can be processed (currently the drop may be processed even if the add cannot be)

If you have questions about the new registration, please contact regservices@oakland.edu or (248) 370-3450.

Errors

The Office of the Registrar recommends a strong relationship with your academic adviser. First-year students and undecided students are advised by the First Year Advising Center. Each school and the college at Oakland University house their own professional academic advising office. Use the "Find My Academic Adviser" tools on this website to determine which advising office you will be visiting. Faculty advisers within each academic department also are qualified to advise you and connect you with additional resources.

Please refer to your catalog for further information on policies.

If you believe you have circumstances that warrants any override, contact the department of the course or the office listed. You can view a full list of departments here.
