Understanding and Using Registration & Canvas Worksheets

Registration Worksheet

This worksheet registers you for a course in real time. When you successfully add a course to this worksheet, you are automatically registered for the course and the information feeds into the Student Information System (SIS).  The only exceptions are courses that require instructor permission to register and courses for which you are on a waitlist. You will know that you are successfully enrolled if a black check-mark appears next to the course and/or section. When registration opens, you may enroll course-by-course in real time using the registration worksheet. You may make changes to your schedule until registration closes.

• When you are enrolled in a course through the registration worksheet, you will be added to the Canvas site (if available) with a “Student” status.
• You are limited to enrolling in no more than 5.5 course credits during registration. (Students with exceptional academic needs should ask their Residential College Dean about a credit overload.)
• When the registration system closes, your registration worksheet will be locked.
