STEPS TO REGISTER

  1. Get advised.
    a. Ask your advisor for an advising appointment.
    b. Expect a face-to-face session since most advisors will ask that you sign an advising agreement to note recommendations for you.
    c. Your advisor will grant you access in WebAdvisor to build your schedule according to your classification to build your schedule according to your classification of senior, junior, sophomore, or freshmen. (See chart below.)
  2. Get classes.
    a. With pen and paper, plan your schedule using your Degree Audit and “Search for Sections” in WebAdvisor.
    b. Log into Portico.
    c. Under the Student tab at the top, click on “Express Registration”. Enter the full course identifier (e.g. ENGL-110-02 Spring 2012).
    d. “Submit” to save your schedule.
  3. Confirm Enrollment.
    CONFIRM ENROLLMENT following ACS to make sure your schedule remains intact and is not purged during registration. Under the “Student” tab, click on “Enrollment Confirmation”. Watch your email or check the ACS flyers around campus for the CONFIRM ENROLLMENT date for the current term.

CONFIRM ENROLLMENT

What is “confirming enrollment”? This step allows you to apply a down payment and completes your registration process.

You will receive an email from either the Business Office or Records Office informing you when you may “confirm enrollment”, the final step of the registration process. In order for WebAdvisor to allow you to “confirm enrollment”, you must have already selected classes and sections. Normally you may confirm enrollment for the summer term following Advance Class Selection (ACS) in March/April. Confirming enrollment for the fall term will begin around mid-July of each year. Confirming enrollment for the spring term will normally begin following ACS held in October/November of each year. Watch your Lee email for updates or changes!

If you successfully confirm enrollment on WebAdvisor, you can avoid the long registration lines in the Humanities Center! If you successfully complete all the steps, you will receive a confirmation page that states: “Congratulations!! Your registration is CONFIRMED.” (Suggestion: Print this screen showing completion as your receipt.)

Just follow these instructions below to confirm your enrollment online:

  1. In your web browser, type https://portico.leeuniversity.edu. You will be directed to the new web portal (Portico) that will hold all the important things you need during your time at Lee.
  2. Once at Portico, login using the same username and password you have used to access WebAdvisor or when logging in to computers on-campus (not your old Lee Central username and password). If you are having trouble logging in or do not know your password, please call the HelpDesk at (423) 614-8027.
  3. Select the “Confirm Enrollment” link under the Registration tab.
  4. Select the Term you wish to confirm and press the select button.
  5. You will see a description of your term charges and detailed instructions about what you need to do next to “confirm your enrollment.
    1. If you have any prior balances from previous terms, you will need to clear these up before you can confirm enrollment for the current term. You will see a link that allows you to make this payment online.
    2. If you have financial aid that covers your down payment, you can click on the link to commit your financial aid towards your down payment.
    3. If you have financial aid but it does not completely cover your down payment, you can click on the link to commit your financial aid and the system will recalculate your new required down payment taking into account the financial aid applied.
    4. If you have already made payments for the Fall term via WebAdvisor or through the Business Office, the payments will be indicated and your minimum required down payment will reflect what has already been paid.
    5. If there are any questions about your housing assignment or meal plan status, you will be instructed how to contact the appropriate offices.
  6. Once you have met all of the requirements for “confirming your enrollment,” you will receive a message that says “Congratulations!! Your registration is CONFIRMED.” This means you are officially registered. You are ready to show up for classes in the Spring and you have successfully avoided those long lines at registration.

We hope that you will take advantage of this online service. Spending a little time now “confirming your enrollment” will save you much frustration during the week before classes. Then you can just relax and get reacquainted with friends after you return to Cleveland instead of standing in lines at the Humanities Center.

Frequently Asked Questions

 

  • If I “confirm my enrollment,” does this mean I cannot make changes to my course schedule prior to classes beginning? No, this only indicates to us that you are definitely attending in the fall and that you have met the minimum down payment requirements as stated by the institutional catalog. If you need to drop or add classes, you may still do so via WebAdvisor or on-campus during registration even if you have “confirmed your enrollment.” We have a special line for students who have “confirmed their enrollment” and need to add/drop classes.
  • If I “commit” my financial aid, does this mean I cannot apply for more aid? No, all this commitment means is that you are going to attend classes and you would like to use any financial aid you have towards your down payment. If you are still in the process of applying for additional financial aid, this can be applied at a later date.
  • If I “commit” my financial aid but do not want to use all of it, does this mean I am out of luck? No, actually committing your financial aid towards your bill only indicates that you want to use it towards your down payment. If there is loan money that you do not want to accept, you can always contact financial aid and have them withhold making payments on your account with these funds. You just need to make sure to let them know, or they will apply all aid to your account.
  • What if I cannot remember if I have “confirmed my enrollment” or not? You can always check the “Confirm Enrollment” link on WebAdvisor if you are uncertain about your registration status. It will indicate whether or not you have completed the registration process. You are not complete until you receive the message, “Congratulations!! Your registration is CONFIRMED.”
