If your academic plan allows it, you can search for courses that are in your plan but are planned for future terms. For example, if you're a sophomore, and your plan includes Botany 301 in your senior year, you may be able to take it now instead of waiting till your senior year.

If you do register this term for a course that was planned for a future term, be sure to contact your advisor to adjust your plan.

Edge stripes on a course on your calendar alert you to issues you need to address before registering.

On the Registration checkout screen, all the courses from your calendar are arranged according their status. Take care of any issues holding up your registration. If a course requires advisor approval, you can contact your advisor from here or submit a request for approval.

If a course has corequisites, register for the course and its corequisites together.

1.         Place the course and its corequisites on your calendar.

2.         Click the Registration checkout button.

3.         On the Registration Checkout screen, select the course and its corequisites.

Your academic plan shows CHEM 221 (a lecture) and its lab, CHEM 223.


You place a section of CHEM 221 on your calendar.


The red edge stripe indicates an issue, so you click the course and view the issue.
    

On the Registration Checkout screen, you won't be able to register for the course unless you register for all its corequisites at the same time.


Put the lab on your calendar, and then go to Registration Checkout. If you try to register for either the lecture or the lab, you'll be reminded to register for both.

When you try to drop a course that has corequisites, you're prompted to either drop all the corequisites at once or choose a replacement section for the course you're dropping. To drop the courses:

1.         Click the course on your calendar.

2.         Click Drop course.
A warning message opens.

3.         Click the Yes radio button.

4.         Click Drop.

You want to drop your chemistry lecture and its lab.
Just drop either course.


A message asks if you want to drop the corequisite, too. Click the Yes radio button, and click Drop.

Both courses are dropped and removed from your calendar.

Usually, to switch sections of a course, you simply drop the course and add a new section of it. But a course with corequisites is different because corequisites must be dropped together. If you only want to switch sections of one of the corequisites, you can do it without actually dropping the courses.

1.         On your calendar, click the course you want to switch.

2.         Click Drop course.
A warning message opens.

3.         Click the No radio button.

You want to change sections of your chemistry lab.

You click the lab on your calendar and click Drop course.


A warning message asks whether you want to drop both the lab and its corequisite. But you want to replace your lab with a different section, so you select a new section from the Select a Course drop-down. Then click Register.


The new lab section appears on your calendar.

The top of the My Schedule screen shows your course load, the number of hours on your calendar so far. It also shows your status as part-time, full-time, or overloaded, and it shows how many hours below full-time or above the load limit you are.

   

If you have courses with errors on your calendar, such as two courses in the same time slot or a course without its corequisites, those hours are not counted.

Non-calendared courses appear in the My Academic Plan panel with the message “No schedule available” or “No schedule.”

To add one to your calendar, click the course, and click Add to my schedule.

Non-calendared courses use the same colors and symbols as courses on the calendar, and they work just like calendared courses for approvals, registration checkout, removing from the schedule, and dropping.

The subtotal of hours for non-calendared courses alone shows just above the courses. You can hide non-calendared courses by clicking the Less link, and show the courses again by clicking the More link.

Click the course tile to contact the instructor, view details, or remove the course from your schedule (or to drop the course, if you've already registered for it).

The Registrar's office determines when a term is available in the My Schedule feature.

Depending on your school's policies, you might be restricted to registering only for courses on your plan for this term. The level of restriction you have is called "plan sensitivity." You can see your level just under the My Academic Plan heading.

If the subterm dates don't overlap, you can have courses from different subterms in the same time slot. On your calendar, they'll appear with blue edge striping to remind you that they're subterm courses and not necessarily in conflict.

It may be disabled for any of a number of reasons including these:

·       The registration period is not open yet.

·       There are no unregistered courses on your calendar.

·       You need registration clearance.

On the registration checkout screen, some courses may be listed under the heading Not Available to Register. The checkboxes for those courses are disabled. The reasons are listed. Examples include schedule conflicts, required prerequisites or corequisites, and repeated courses or courses that fulfill the same requirement as another course on your calendar.

If you can't add courses from these pages, it means you have an academic plan. Students with academic plans now use the My Schedule page to add, drop, and register for courses. From the Add/Drop Courses portlet, click the Register by Plan link.

If a waitlist is allowed for the course, then you can get on the waitlist. When you register for the course, it will appear on your calendar in light blue, labeled as waitlisted.
   

The course shows as a pending registration in Registration Checkout, and as waitlisted on the calendar.

 

If you get moved from the waitlist and are registered for the course, the course on the calendar will change to green, labeled as registered. If you are not able to get into the course, it will disappear from your calendar.
