Taking a Course at Booth

Taking a Course at Booth

Law School students may register for classes at the Booth School of Business (Booth). After initial registration has concluded for Booth students, remaining seats in MBA courses are offered to non-Booth students on a first-come, first-served basis.

Students are encouraged to reference the Student Handbook for the applicable quarterly and overall limits on non-LAWS credits specific to their program/degree prior to registering for Booth classes.

Students cannot register for Booth classes via classes.uchicago.edu nor the Booth registration system. Instead, students must request Booth classes via an online request system administered by staff at the Booth Registrar’s office.

Booth offers Law School students two online course request periods. During each request period, students are allowed to indicate the total Booth courses into which they would like to be registered (one or two).

Once the registration period ends, Booth Registrar staff sends an email to each student advising as to the outcome of their enrollment request.

Successful requests are included in the Booth registration system immediately. They appear in My.uchicago.edu and in Canvas on the morning of the following business day.  These synchronization processes cannot be accelerated by calling Booth (nor the Law School Office of the Registrar), but it is sometimes possible for faculty to add non-registered students to a Canvas site (students should contact the pertinent Booth faculty directly to ascertain what's possible).

The timeline of the various events/steps of each registration period varies from quarter to quarter, but typically begins the week before the quarter starts and continues through Friday of week 1. See the non-Booth registration landing page for the dates/times for the upcoming quarterly registration cycle and links to the online request forms.

Many questions concerning the Booth registration process are answered on the FAQ page for non-Booth students. Questions about the process can be directed to BoothRegistrar@Lists.ChicagoBooth.edu.
