Register for Classes

As a law student, you will register for classes using a web-based system called “Banner.”   Accessing Banner over the web works best with Internet Explorer. If you experience problems, check the browser you are using. Registration is always possible by logging onto Banner at a campus computer lab.

Banner is accessed through my.wm.edu.  After logging into my.wm.edu, select “Banner” then “Student and Financial Aid” and finally “Registration.”  The University Registrar provides other helpful registration hints.
