LancerLink FAQs

Start by reviewing your Major Planning Guide and the sample plan tabs at the bottom of the page to see recommended course sequences. You should also review your Degree Audit by selecting “Your Registration and Record” then clicking “Degree Audit” on the left-hand side. If you’re unsure which courses best align with your goals or timeline, schedule an appointment with your Student Success Coach or join them during their Office Hours for personalized guidance.

Error messages typically indicate issues such as missing prerequisites, time conflicts, registration holds, or course restrictions. Carefully review the error message displayed in red in the top-right corner of the screen. If the issue is still unclear, contact your Student Success Coach via LancerMail with details about the error and your specific question.

To change your major, submit a major change request. It’s strongly recommended that you meet with your Student Success Coach before making the change to understand how it may affect your degree progress and graduation timeline.  Please note that Major, Minor, Catalog Year Change requests will be processed after March 2026 for future semesters.

Registration for Summer 2026 is completed through InsideCBU by selecting SU 2026 in the term drop-down menu. This is the same platform used for previous semesters. Please note that Fall 2026 registration is the only semester that will use the LancerLink platform at this time. Be sure to review the Academic Calendar for Registration dates.

You can register for Fall 2026 Registration through LancerLink by selecting “Your Registration and Record” and then clicking “Registration” on the left-hand side. For detailed instructions on how to add, swap, or drop courses, click here.
