Students Affairs works with the Olin Registrar’s Office to register Full-Time MBA students for their first two semesters of coursework and coursework during the Global Immersion. For other courses, students perform their own registration via WebSTAC.

Prior to Registration

  1. Schedule a meeting with your academic advisor.
  2. Review degree requirements for your program.
  3. Review the Registration Instruction listed below and watch the Registration Tutorial video.
  4. Review available courses for your degree program. Note: You can also review the PMBA course listings, as Full-Time MBA students may enroll in PMBA Elective Courses on a space-available basis. Olin graduate students may NOT enroll in undergraduate business courses (course levels 100-400), Executive MBA courses (course level 700), or Online MBA courses (course level 8000).
  5. Review course descriptions for details about course content and any prerequisite requirements.
  6. Students are strongly encouraged to use WebSTAC’s “Registration Worksheet” tool for planning purposes; however, course registration must be completed separately in the “Registration” section once the registration period begins.
  7. Register as early as possible for courses to minimize being placed on waitlists. This also helps ensure timely book and course packet orders.
Registration Instructions

WebSTAC is Washington University’s system for course registration. Use WebSTAC to check enrollment status, view grades, view billing and account information, and update contact information.

  • Once logged in to WebSTAC, select the “Registration” item from the menu to register for courses. Students may also go to a completed “Registration Worksheet” and select from there the courses in which they would like to enroll.
  • Pay close attention to the specific class section—e.g., 01, 02 or 03 as well as the course number and level.
  • Select the “P” (pass) grading option for MBA courses. This grading option corresponds to the MBA grading system.

WebSTAC is designed to prevent students from being simultaneously enrolled in two conflicting classes. However, it treats all courses as semester courses, so it may return a “time conflict error” message when a student attempts to enroll in Mini-A and Mini-B courses that meet on the same day of the week and at the same time. If this error message appears, verify that the classes actually do not conflict and then override the message to enroll in both courses.

  • Waitlist: If a course has reached capacity, you will be asked if you would like to be placed on the waitlist. Students on course waitlists are automatically enrolled in the class as seats become available. It is the student’s responsibility to monitor waitlist status and make any necessary adds or drops.
  • Short (weekend and weeklong) courses: During the first two weeks of registration, if you enroll in both short and standard mini- courses or semester-long courses, WebSTAC will automatically put you on the waitlist. Review the “notes” section of the elective course listings for complete details.
