Registration Instructions<\/strong><\/h5>\n

1. Log in to the Student Information System (SIS)<\/a> and complete any remaining registration holds. You will not be able to continue until all holds are completed.\u00a0 If you need a proxy, please email Renae Althoff<\/a> to discuss options.<\/p>\n

2. Create a wishlist before your registration time. A wishlist allows you to add all courses you are interested in taking to one place.\u00a0 By adding multiple course options in advance, you will be able to click on \u201cAdd\u201d directly from your wishlist once registration opens.\u00a0 Not creating a wishlist will slow down the registration process by having to search for each class and then click on the Add button.\u00a0 Simply use the search feature, and then click “Add to Wishlist.”<\/span><\/p>\n

3. View the registration schedule here<\/a>. Log in before<\/em><\/strong> your designated registration time so that you are ready by clicking on Registration<\/strong> on the left side for the correct term.\u00a0 Registration is live and immediate once your time begins.\u00a0 Add courses from your wishlist if you created one.<\/p>\n

4. If you have been given a reserved seat for a particular course, you will see it at the top. Plan your other courses so that they do not conflict with the time of the course in which you have a reserved seat.\"\"<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

5. If you still have a WRIT 111, REL 121, WRIT 120, or FYS 120 course left to take, you\u2019ll see it in the purple First-Year course box. Click Find Courses<\/strong> to see the available sections, and then click the Add<\/strong> button to add the section you wish to add.<\/p>\n

\"\"\"\"<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

6. In the teal box labeled Course Placement, you will find any placement survey results. If you wish to add a course that you placed into this term, click Find Courses<\/strong> to see the available sections and click the Add<\/strong> button.

<\/div>\n

8. Use the Drop<\/strong> and Swap<\/strong> buttons to make registration changes. Remember that registration is live and another student may register for a course immediately after you drop it.\u00a0 The course may close and not be available for you to add again. You will be able to add and drop courses until the day before classes begin for each term. The system will not allow you to drop to zero credits.\u00a0 Contact the Registrar’s Office if you have any questions.<\/p>\n

7. If a course you want to register for says Prereqs Not Met<\/strong> or Course Full<\/strong> next to it, you cannot register for the course without permission from the instructor. Click on the button to access the Override Request form. See instructions for Requesting an Override.<\/a><\/p>\n
