Step 2 - View Courses

Step 2  of the Registration process allows you to view your selected courses in a calendar view showing the times and statuses for each class. This step also provides an opportunity to verify the information about the classes you selected (day, time, location, instructor, etc.).

Notes:

  • If you have been viewing the calendar for several minutes, or if you were interrupted and returned, select Refresh Page to ensure that the data being displayed is the most current. This is important, particularly if you have a class reserved or waitlisted and other students are registering or dropping that same class.

  • Select Close Window to exit the registration process without registering. When you close the window, your course selections are saved but you are not registered for any new courses.

The weekdays can be configured with 1-letter or 2-letter notation.
