- Choose the term you’re registering for and select “Continue.”

- Review and/or update your address information, then choose “Next.”
- Review the optional services, select any that apply, then choose “Next.”
- Enter a specific class number, or use Class Search or My Planner to select a course.
- Add the class to your shopping cart. If the class is closed and you wish to join the waitlist, check the “Waitlist” box.

Note that you’re not enrolled in a class just because it’s in your shopping cart. If you’re eligible to register, you’ll be directed to Register & Drop/Add to finish your enrollment.

Be sure to log out
When you’ve finished registering for classes, make sure to log out and close your browser. This will prevent others from seeing your private class registration, grade, and financial information.
After you register
After you’ve registered, you’ll be able to drop or add classes through the first week of classes. After the first week of classes, you’ll need to go through the late drop/add process instead.
