How to register for courses in Student Planning
To begin, access Student Planning located within myCWI
Login to Student Planning using your CWI username and password. Remember, your username is always lowercase.
Click on “My Toolkit,” then “My Toolkit for Students.”
Click on “Plan & Register.”
Notice that both “Student Account Consent” and “Confirm Emergency Contact Info” say “Must be completed before registration.”
Students are required to complete both items each semester that they intend to register. Be sure to complete these items before clicking “Plan & Register” again.
Click on “Plan & Register” again.
Once you arrive at the Self-Service screen in Student Planning, click on the box that reads “Plan your Degree & Register for Classes.”
Check the calendar date.
The calendar page defaults to the most current term. Be sure you are viewing the term you want to register for. To move across terms, click the arrows to the left of the term listed on the page. The arrow that points to the right will take you to future terms.
If there are no courses planned for the semester, you can use the search bar in the upper right-hand corner of the screen to identify specific courses you would like to plan for.
Type in the subject and course number that you want to search for, then click the search icon.
Once you have found the course in your search results, click on “Add Course to Plan.”
A pop-up box will appear. Scroll down in the box until you see the option to select a “Term.” From the dropdown menu, select the term you want to plan the course for. Then click on “Add Course to Plan.”
The course has been added, but it is not yet registered. At the top of the screen, click “Back to Plan & Schedule.”
Be sure you have returned to the correct semester that you are planning for. If not, use the arrows to move across terms.
When the appropriate terms is selected, you should now see your planned course.
Choose course section.
Click on “View other sections” to see every section of the course that is offered for that semester. Notice the number of pages of search results. If there are several pages, you may want to narrow down your options with filters.
To filter, click on “Filter Sections” and use the appropriate filters based on your needs.
Remember: If you select too many filters, you may filter out all of the results, which is why we recommend only using a few.
Once your filters have been applied, noticed if the number of page results has changed. Find a section that fits with your schedule and click on the course.
Click on “Add Section.”
Now you can see that the course is listed as “Planned” in yellow. Being “planned” means you are not yet registered for the course.
