Course Offerings

Western Michigan University holds classes on the main campus in Kalamazoo, at our downtown Grand Rapids location and online. To register for classes at WMU, you must first be an admitted student and resolve any holds that you may have. Registration time is based on credit hours earned and credit hours that are currently in progress at WMU. Please visit your advisor for registration assistance. Please see the Admissions website for admissions information.

Class search

Use the class search feature to view available courses. Due to the transition to Banner 9, the previously existing course lookup tool is no longer supported. However, it has been replaced with a Banner-delivered class search, linked above. A Bronco NetID and password are not required to use the new class search tool. 

For help navigating the new tool, please see the instructional notes below:
