phone: 919-660-5996 | email: pratt-advising@duke.edu | pratt.duke.edu/undergrad/students/first-year

The registration process for the fall will begin Monday, June 5, 2023 with you being granted access to your First-Year Questions. You will be able to view your Shopping Cart beginning Monday, June 5. Course registration for incoming first-year students will take place Tuesday, July 11 or Thursday, July 13 in DukeHub. Your registration window will be determined by the last 2 digits of your Student ID number (this number normally begins with a 2).
Join us during the Pratt Advising webinar on Wednesday, May 31, 2023.

First, students must verify and update the personal information we have on record for you here at Duke. Next, you will have the chance to reflect on your academic experiences and plans in preparation for selecting your first term classes. 

During the Shopping Cart period, you will browse available fall classes in DukeHub, visit department websites and confirm your pre-college credit. While reviewing class options for the fall semester, you will place a selection of required courses into your Shopping Cart. You can use Schedule Builder to easily generate a class schedule that best fits your individual needs. You will select 4.0 or 4.5 courses to enroll in for the fall, and you should also identify backup classes as alternatives if one of your preferred classes is closed when you go to enroll. 

Registration will commence Tuesday, July 11 and Thursday, July 13. Beginning Friday, July 14, you can continue to modify your schedule. Students will be able to add/drop. 

You will need to give yourself time to browse through courses, review the previous section on Learning at Duke and check various Duke websites as you put together a prospective schedule. We recommend that you follow the timetable above and begin as soon as possible. 

If you have questions, problems or need advice about the registration process, call or email the Pratt School of Engineering Undergraduate Education Office (pratt-advising@duke.edu). An academic dean will help you.
