To access your course, please login to your myWalden portal. Under the Current Courses tab, select the course you wish to access by clicking anywhere on the course tile, this will take you directly to the course in Canvas you’ve selected. Alternatively, you can click the Go To Class link in the left-side navigation menu.
Students in self-register programs can self-register for courses from their myWalden portal. To do so, you will first need to log into your myWalden portal.

- Search for the course in the ‘Subject’ and ‘Course Number’ search boxes and click Continue.
Only use this step if you have not created a Plan using the Degree Works Student Educational Planner. If you have created a Plan, go to step 5.

If there is more than one section of a course available, select whichever one is first available – they are all the same course, just different instructors who have likely not been assigned at the time you are registering.

Students who fail to register and have not applied for or been granted a leave of absence, risk being withdrawn from the university and may not have access to academic and administrative services. These students will not retain financial aid. To re-enter the university, they must apply for reinstatement or readmission and, if necessary, reapply for financial aid.
If you need additional support, please contact the Customer Care Team by chat in your portal or by phone at 1-800-925-3368.
If you are unsure which course is next or would like to review your academic plan, please set up an appointment with your assigned student success advisor under the Help button at the top of your student portal. You will also find their phone number and email address listed in the myWalden portal.
