How do I register for classes? 
To register, current students log in to myKish, under Self-Service - Student card click on "Student Planning" to view their schedule.

I am having trouble registering for a class. Why can't I register? 
Registration for a class will depend on a few things, including confirmation of address and phone number, restrictive standing, financial aid reasons, placement testing, prerequisites, conduct or money owed to the institution. Call 815-825-9375 for assistance.

What does it mean to be on restricted standing? 
Students who fall below the minimum grade-point average (GPA) for good academic standing are placed on restricted standing. While on restricted standing, students must meet with an academic advisor each term before enrolling in classes. Restricted standing is lifted once the student’s GPA meets or exceeds the required threshold for good standing. Learn more about academic standing policies and procedures in the Academic Catalog.

You can view a copy of your class schedule by going to the Self-Service - Student card on myKish. Then, click on "Student Planning." Under "Plan Your Degree & Register for Classes," click  "Go to Plan & Schedule." It is your responsibility as a student to know when your classes start and end.
