If you will not have access to an internet connection during your enrollment appointment, please contact your college registrar's office.

-
If there is a hold, click on “Details” and then the “Hold Item” link to find out what you need to do to clear the hold. If you see a “No Enrollment in Classes” hold on your record, you must contact your college registrar's office before you will be able to enroll.

If there are no holds, check the Enrollment Dates box on the Student Center home page to be sure you have an active enrollment appointment. Your enrollment appointment is based on academic level. If your enrollment appointment is incorrect, please contact your college registrar's office.

Can I add classes to my shopping cart prior to my enrollment appointment?
Yes, classes can be added to your shopping cart prior to your enrollment appointment. However, this does not save you a spot in the class or guarantee that you will be able to take the class. Keep in mind also that class details may change after the class is added to your shopping cart. Once your enrollment period begins, make sure you complete all steps to finish enrolling.
Are my enrollment requests saved when I exit Student Center?
Any classes you add to your shopping cart (Step 1) will remain there during your enrollment or add/drop period unless all three enrollment steps are completed. You are not enrolled or entitled to a spot in a class if it has only been added to your shopping cart. If you are ready to add the class to your schedule, make sure you finish enrolling (Step 3).
How do I add a course that requires consent?
If you need to add a course that requires consent, contact the department or instructor as applicable.
Can I change my schedule once I have submitted my choices?
Yes, you can make changes to your class requests as long as you have no enrollment holds and you have an active enrollment appointment. Credit hour changes must be made by the deadline to add courses (15th calendar day of the semester) and grade option changes must be made by the deadline to drop classes (57th calendar day of the semester).
Swapping classes ensures the class you want to add is open before dropping you from the class in which you’re already enrolled.
-
Go to Student Center > Add a Class > Enter Term > Swap Classes tab.
-
Select the class from the drop down menu that you want to swap from.
-
Select the class you want to swap to (either by entering the class number or searching).

How do I add myself to a wait list?
A limited number of classes have online wait lists. If waitlisting is an option, you will see a "waitlist if class is full" checkbox on the "Select a Class to Add - Enrollment Preferences" page in Student Center.
You can also determine if a class has a waitlist by selecting the class section details. Under "Class Availability", see the wait list capacity item. If there is a '0', there is no waitlist. A number indicates a waitlist is available.
What is the deadline for course add/drop?
For regular session classes, the add deadline is the 15th calendar day of the semester and the drop deadline is the 57th calendar day of the semester. Johnson, Law, and Vet students should check with their colleges. The School of Continuing Education and Summer Sessions, the Department of Athletics and Physical Education, and First-Year Writing Seminars may have different enrollment policies and deadlines.
Does My Planner automatically enroll me in classes?
The classes you add to My Planner serve as a guide for what you plan to take in the future. Adding courses to My Planner does not reserve a spot in the class. You can, however, use My Planner to expedite the enrollment process. The classes you add to My Planner are available by semester on the add page of the Enroll tab. Keep in mind that moving a course to a specific term in My Planner does have any impact on when the class is scheduled or available for enrollment.
