  3. Search for Courses:
    In the search box located in the upper-right corner, enter the course code (e.g., ENG101701) or just the subject (e.g., ENG). If you search by subject, you’ll need to scroll through the results to select the appropriate course and section.

  6. Add More Courses:
    If you need to add more courses, repeat the search and selection process. Once you’ve added all your desired courses, click “Back to Planning Overview” to review your choices.
  7. Plan Your Schedule:
    Click “Go to Plan & Schedule” to view your planned courses. Online courses will appear on the left column, while face-to-face courses will also appear on the scheduling grid to the right. If you don’t see your course, click the arrow next to the term to navigate to the correct one.
  8. Register for Courses:
    To finalize your registration, click the “Register Now” button in the upper-right corner to register for all courses simultaneously, or click “Register” next to each course to register individually.
    Note: If the register buttons are grayed out, check the message box on the upper-right side of your screen for an explanation.
