Registration by class standing for the Summer 2025, Fall 2025 and Winter 2026 semesters will open on Monday, March 17. Full-year registration allows students to register for an entire year’s worth of classes.
OU has a knowledgeable staff ready to assist with questions related to registration, advising, financial services and other concerns. Students can keep moving toward their academic and professional goals by following these steps:
Work with an academic adviser
Students are encouraged to work with their academic adviser to ensure they are selecting the right classes to stay on track for graduation. Most students have an assigned adviser that they can directly reach out to via email.
Undergraduate students can identify their assigned academic adviser on their MySAIL account. Their adviser will be listed at the bottom of the “Academic Profile” widget. Find more information at Find My Academic Adviser.
Graduate students should contact their academic department for advising assistance.

Learn about financial aid and scholarships
If you are registering for Summer 2025, financial aid may be available. Now is also the time to complete the 2025-2026 FAFSA to be eligible for financial aid for Fall 2025 and Winter 2026 semesters. Oakland has many opportunities for both merit- and need-based grants and scholarships for new and transfer students. If you are a high school senior graduating in 2025 or a transfer student who graduated high school in 2023 or 2024, be sure to complete the 2025-2026 FAFSA to establish Michigan Achievement Scholarship eligibility.
Whether you are a returning student to OU or thinking about attending in the future, the Office of Financial Aid and Scholarships is here to help you with any financial aid or student account questions. We can be reached at (248) 370-2550 or finaid@oakland.edu.
