Registration times will be released in late March. You can view your registration time on the right side of the blue bar in EagleApps Course Planning and Registration.
Student Services is placing an “Advisor Clearance'' hold on all undergraduate accounts which requires students in MCAS, LSEHD, and CSON to meet with their advisor prior to registration. Carroll School of Management students will not be required to meet with their advisor prior to registration.
Student Services has released comprehensive tutorials to help students learn how to use EagleApps to search for classes and prepare for registration. Make time to visit bc.edu/registration to learn about EagleApps.

You can contact Jenna Burke in Student Services who can help you with this: burkeuk@bc.edu.
When you log into EagleApps Planning and Registration, you may see the word "Hold" in the middle of your page. If you have a hold on your account, you will need to have it taken off prior to registration. For judicial holds, contact Office of Student Conduct. For financial holds, contact Student Services. For immunization holds, contact Health Services.
Starting March 12th, you can search for classes in the Portal under EagleApps Course Information and Schedule. To browse for courses, you use the filters to narrow down your search to a school and a department, or you can use keyword searches if you are looking for something specific. If you are looking to fulfill Carroll School core requirements, you can find the list of them here. Concentration requirements can be found here. You can view the University core requirements here.
You can learn about the management core classes by watching the videos on the Concentration page. Each core class video features a faculty member explaining what they teach in the course.
Students must complete 120 credits to earn their bachelor’s degree. A typical course load is 15 credits each semester through senior year. Requirements are split among the University core, the Carroll School core, selected concentration(s), and any remaining electives.
To be considered full-time, students must be registered for courses totaling at least 12 credits per semester. At least 9 of the credits must be in courses of 3 credits or more. Ordinarily, students should average 15 credits per semester with a target of completing 30 credits per academic year.
Some classes have seat pools which reserve seats for certain student populations. (For example, seat pools might be in place to hold a certain number of seats in each class for students in a certain school, major, or class year.) When you are registering, you might see a class that looks like it is open but when you register for it, you receive an error message saying you cannot get into the class due to seat pools. In these situations, you will have to register for another course in your plan.
Adding courses to a plan in your EagleApps does not mean you have registered for classes. You can create a plan prior to registration and then at your registration time, you will need to register for your classes. To register, select the box next to each course you want to register for and select the "Register" button. Make sure to look for any error messages. On the top right page until your registration time, it will show you how many courses and how many credits you have successfully registered for.
The standard semester course load for undergraduates is five 3-credit courses and a maximum of 20 credits, including labs and other 1- or 2- credit courses. Students are eligible to overload if they have earned at least a 3.0 overall cumulative GPA or a 3.0 GPA in the semester immediately prior to the one for which the overload is sought, in which case they may register online for a sixth course of 3 credits or more and a maximum of 24 credits, including labs and other 1- and 2-credit courses, starting on the Wednesday before the first day of classes for the semester.
Students are not permitted to take a sixth course of 3 credits or more during their first semester at Boston College. Second-semester freshmen who wish to overload with a sixth course of 3 credits or more must obtain permission from their Academic Dean.
Students with an overall cumulative GPA between 2.0 and 3.0 may, under exceptional circumstances, be allowed by their Academic Dean to enroll in a sixth course.
Students will need to contact the department administrator to seek an override or get onto a waitlist. Please see the details on how Carroll School departments are handling overrides for fall 2025 course registration. For all other courses, students can complete this form and submit it to the department.
You can view courses evaluations in the Portal. Learn how to do that here.
Sophomores, juniors, and seniors may elect to designate a course as pass/fail before the deadline. The deadlines are November 1 for the fall and April 1 for the spring. Only electives can be taken pass/fail. Courses being used to fulfill major, minor, Core, or corequisites cannot be taken pass/fail.
Second-semester freshmen who have been approved by their Academic Dean for an overload of a sixth course of 3 credits or more may take that course on a pass/fail basis, in which case the course may not be used to fulfill a major, minor, Core requirement, or corequisites.
No more than one course of 3 or more credits may be taken pass/fail in any semester. No student may take more than six pass/fail courses of 3 or more credits for credit toward a degree.
Courses in the Carroll School of Management may not be taken on a pass/fail basis. Departments may designate some courses as not available in general for pass/fail enrollment.
Students may not take foreign language courses on a pass/fail basis until they have completed the University's language proficiency requirement. Any foreign language course being used to fulfill a major, minor, Core, or corequirement cannot be taken pass/fail.
A student enrolled in a course on a pass/fail basis who earns a grade of D- or higher will receive a grade of Pass for the course.
