How to Register
Whether you’re a first-time user or a returning student, signing up for classes is easy. After you meet with your advisor to explore your options for the upcoming semester, you have two ways to search and register for classes. You can use our mobile app or sign up online in goPFW. Whichever way you choose to sign up for classes, be sure to take advantage of your early registration period to secure your schedule for the semester.

You’ll need to provide your last name, date of birth, and either your student ID number or the last four digits of your Social Security number.
