Search for and Add Classes to your Schedule

2. Select the desired term, then click Continue.

3. Search for your desired class. The Find Classes tab has a form with several options for searching through the inventory of offered classes. Use any combination of the available options.

4. Once you find the desired class, add it to your schedule. 

  • Click the Add button to add a class you desire to your schedule. Take note of text warnings that indicate an issue that might affect your ability to register (such as enrollment restrictions).
  • Click the class title to see a pop-up box with more class details. Pay attention to information in the Status column that might affect your ability to register for the class.

5. Review courses on your worksheet and complete registration.

  • When you add classes to your schedule, a panel expands from the bottom of the screen.
  • Any actions—including registering, requesting instructor permission, waitlisting, dropping courses, etc.—are not complete until you click the Submit button in the bottom right corner. Instructor permission and waitlisting actions  require further action.
