Accessing Registration

    2. Or, after logging into the system, go to My Profile > Registration .
    The Registration page displays.


    On this page: 
    1. The Selected Courses section shows all courses in which you've registered (or hope to).
    2. Courses Offered shows all courses for which you may submit an enrollment request. The courses you see here depend on your selections from the drop-downs:
      1. Enroll/Audit:  Toggle between courses you can enroll in or audit.
      2. Show Available courses:  These courses include the above together with courses that have schedule conflicts and max enrollment conflicts.
      3. Show All courses:  This shows every course offered in the term, whether or not you can register for it.
        4. Note: The drop-downs available to you may vary based on your account settings.

    3. Each course includes important details, such as n ame, faculty, and  credits/hours.
    4. To see more information regarding a course, such as the description, syllabus and reading list, click on the course name. 

Note: It is recommended that you right-click on the course and then select to open it in a new tab, so that you keep the registration page still available. Otherwise, just click Back on your browser, or follow the instructions above to return to the registration page.
