Registration (enrollment)
After you are admitted to Fort Hays State University, you will use Workday to register in classes. It is the student's responsibility to enroll and make payment arrangements for tuition and fees registration and payment deadlines! Students must read and agree to the Financial Responsibility Agreement in Workday during onboarding in order to register for classes. Advisors cannot register for you. Payment arrangements must be made by the due date each semester in order to assure your classes do not drop for nonpayment.
See our Important Dates or the University Academic Calendar for each semester's registration dates and deadlines.
