• Advisor KNOW HOW: Planning for Semester Registration
  • As students prepare and plan for Spring 2024 semester registration, encourage students to
    • View Course Details (see image below)For every section of a course, the detailed course information can be accessed through the link under either the "Class" or "Section" columns which can include:
      • Course information (class details, attributes [e.g. UNIF learning area], and availability)
      • Requirements for enrollment (Class and subject notes)
      • Expectations of the section (description and textbook/other materials
        
  • Place Classes in the Shopping Cart
    • The shopping cart allows a student to pre-select course sections to register for from the class search/schedule of classes before their registration date/time.
    • Note: Adding classes to the shopping cart does not guarantee enrollment nor does it automatically enroll a student into the course(s).  The student must complete the enrollment verification process on or after their registration date/time.
  • What do those symbols mean for the availability of a course?
