Using the Screens

On menus, click on the underlined words, not the blue dots. It may be necessary to scroll down or across to see all the information on the screen. Buttons which allow you change menus or exit the system are at the bottom of the screens.

Special Registration Needs

If you need to do any of the following, you will need to go the Enrollment Services Office for assistance:

• register for a course overload
• register for a course as an auditor
• register for a course for which you have not met the pre-requisites
• register for a course which requires special approval
• register for two or more courses with the same course number but different titles
• register for a course requiring an independent study form

College of Business majors may also see Diane Williamson, room 140, to register for an overload and register for College of Business courses which have unmet pre-requisites or require special approval.

Searching for Open Classes

You must search on subject and part-of-term for summer.

It is best to search for open courses by using the Class Search screen from the Add/Drop Classes screen. You must select at least one subject to perform a search. Keep your search simple. Search on subject and one or two other search options only.

Search options information:

Course Number is the four digit course number like ENGL 1101. Beginning time will list all courses which begin at the entered time or after. Courses for which you are already registered and are still open will display on the search list, but will not have the check box to the left of the course. The results of a search will display courses that could result in time conflicts with already registered courses. After selecting a course, click on the Register button to register for the course. Clicking on the Add to Worksheet button will not reserve a space in the class.
