Log In

Choose Semester
Calendars default to the current semester.

Search for Courses
If courses have not been planned for the new semester, use the search bar in the upper right-hand corner of the screen to identify specific courses you would like to take.
Enter the subject and course number you want to search for, then click the search button,
Once the course appears, select Add Course to Plan.
A pop up box will appear with course information including pre-requisites, co-requisites, and a course description. Select the semester you would like this course added to, and select Add Course to Plan.
The course is now listed in your plan. Please note this does not actually register you for the class.
View Planned Courses
Select Back to Plan & Schedule on the top right of the page.
Confirm the correct semester is showing. If the correct semester is not showing, use the arrows to navigate to the correct semester.
The course you previously added to your plan should now be populating next to your calendar.
Select Course Section
A course section number specifies the date, time, location, as well as the instructor of a course.
To view available sections of your chosen course, select View other sections. Many courses may have several pages of course sections to view. Use the filters to narrow down the information.
To filter course information, select Filter Sections.
Note: Selecting too many filters may severely limit the number of classes displayed.
8-week Classes
Courses are offered in various lengths which you may select when choosing a course section. CWI offers a variety of session lengths, including 8-week sessions, which are marked with the icon below.

Add Course Section
Once you have selected a course section to fit your schedule, click on the course.
A pop up box will appear showing the instructor's name and email, course information, and any pre- or co-requisites. Confirm this information, then select Add Section.

You will see the register now button in anticipation of you adding the course. The course is only planned, not registered.
Complete Registration
YOU ARE NOT REGISTERED UNTIL THIS STEP IS COMPLETE AND YOUR COURSE IS GREEN. A GREEN APPROVED MESSAGE DOES NOT MEAN YOU ARE REGISTERED.
Select Register Now on the left to complete the registration process. The register button on the course will only add one course at a time. If you are enrolling in a course with required requisites, Register Now will not be an option.
Classes you are successfully registered for will appear in green.
You are not registered for any classes that do not appear in green. If your registration did not go through, check for notifications in the drop down menu on the top right of your screen to determine the cause.
If the notification drop down menu does not appear, select the yellow box in the top right next to the Help box to view all notifications.
