3. Registering for Classes

You may add classes to your schedule using any of the methods below. All added classes will appear in the Summary Panel with a Pending status until submission.

Option A: Register Using a CRN

Use this method if you already have the course reference number.

  1. From Register for Classes, select the Enter CRNs tab.

  1. Enter the CRN and click Add to Summary.
  2. Repeat for additional CRNs using the plus (+) option.

  1. Review the calendar view for time conflicts.

  • Red conflict messages indicate overlapping courses that must be resolved before submission.

Option B: Register Using a Plan

  1. Click Plans.

  1. Expand the plan created by your advisor or yourself.
  2. In the course section, select View Selections.

  1. Click Add for the desired course.

Option C: Register by Searching

  1. Use Find Classes to search by subject or course number.

  1. Review results and click Add next to the desired course.


4. Reviewing and Submitting Registration

Adding classes alone does not complete registration. Submission is required.

  1. Review the Summary Panel.

  1. If courses show a Pending status, they are not yet registered.
  2. Click Submit.

  1. Look for a Save Successful message.
  2. Confirm that each course status changes from Pending to Registered (shown in green).


5. Resolving Registration Errors

If a course does not register successfully:

  • Error messages appear in the Status column.
  • Common issues include:
    • Missing prerequisites
    • Time conflicts
    • Registration restrictions

Errors must be resolved before the course can be registered.

Once corrected:

  • Re-submit your registration as needed.
  • Confirm the course appears in your schedule.

6. Confirming Your Schedule

After successful submission:

  • Registered courses appear in the schedule view.

  • You may also select Schedule and Options to see a full term summary.

This confirms your registration is complete.


Key Reminders

  • Always click Submit to finalize registration.
  • Monitor conflicts and error messages carefully.
  • Use Advanced Search to efficiently find classes that fit your schedule.
