CONFIRM CALENDAR SEMESTER
Calendars default to the current semester. If you are registering for, or looking at a future semester use the arrows to move forward or backward.
If the new semester is not populating use the plus button to add a new semester
Course Selection
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 that you want to search for, then click the search button,
Once the course appears click on “add course to plan”
A pop up box will appear with course information including pre-requisites, co-requisites, and 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 but you are not yet registered. Select the “back to plan & schedule” option on the top right portion of the page.
Confirm the correct semester is showing. If the desired semester is not showing use the arrows to navigate to the correct semester.
Your chosen course should be populating next to your calendar. Please note that a specific section has not been chosen. The section specifies the date and location of the course.
Course Selection
Click on “view other sections” to see when the course is offered, and the location. You may notice more than one page of classes to view. Filters are available to narrow down the information.
Section information includes instructor name, class dates, class times, and locations.
To filter course information, click on “filter sections” and use the appropriate filter.
Note: When too many filters are selected it may severely limit the number of classes displayed
Once a section is found that fits your schedule click on the course.
A new pop up box will appear. This box shows the instructors name and email. It also shows all course information and requisites. If the course still works for your schedule click on, “add section”.

You will see the register now button in anticipation of you adding the course. The course is only planned, not registered.
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 the “register now” button 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 the “register” button will not work.
If your registration processed your courses will be green. If they are not green, you are not registered.
If your courses did not register (are not green), check your notifications. The notifications will indicate why your registration could not successfully complete, you can find these notifications in the drop down menu on the top right of your screen.
If the drop down doesn’t appear click on the yellow box on the top right, next to the help box. This will show all notifications.
