Step 3: Registering for Courses
Tips for Building a Semester Schedule
- Identify as many course selections as possible.
- Choose courses only listed under the campus you will be attending. If you want to enroll in courses from more than one campus, contact the Enrollment Services Office.
- Balance your schedule: Classes meet for varying amounts of time: usually 50 minutes three times a week, 75 minutes twice a week, or once a week for three hours.
- Verify you are registering for the type of class you want, i.e. traditional face-to-face, blended, online, ITV, etc.
- List the course name and #, section #, day and time of the classes you wish to take. Determine secondary choices in case primary class choices are unavailable.
- List the date range of courses.
- Need help planning your week? View the Weekly Course Planning Worksheet.
- Once you’ve selected a specific day and time, locate the 5-digit CRN. This number will be needed when registering.
- Pay close attention to the Academic Calendar for registration dates and payment deadlines.
