This option takes you to the add/drop worksheet where you can enter the CRN(s) for courses you wish to take. ***You should always choose your courses with the assistance of your academic advisor. Before you begin, we suggest that you prepare a list of the Course Reference Numbers (CRN) for the courses in which you plan to enroll. The CRN is the first number listed in the schedule of classes, and is the number you will enter on the Add/Drop worksheet to register for classes. Each course section has one CRN.  Undergraduates are required to see an advisor to register.

To determine who you must see for advising, view your Student Profile.

If you have a “Must See Lobo Den Advisor” registration hold, contact the Lobo Den for advising.

If you have a “Must See Major Advisor” hold, contact your major department for advising.

If you need to search for a specific course or courses to add, you can search the schedule on the web by subject, course number, title, part of term, schedule type, campus, instructor, or time/day. You can search for classes for an upcoming registration by using the Look Up Classes to Add menu option. In order to perform a class search in either Look-up Classes to Add or Class Schedule, you must choose at least one subject. If you want all courses with a particular attribute (Weekend Format, for example), but don’t want to specify a subject, you can highlight all the subjects by using the shift key, and the arrow down button to highlight the entire subject list. After you have identified the criteria for your search, select the Class Search button at the bottom of the screen to submit your search. When you perform a Class Search, a list of courses that meet your criteria will display. When registration is available, the first column is a Select box that will allow you to place a check by those courses you wish to add. If there is no box, registration is not open. If there is a letter C in the first column, the course is closed and cannot be added to your schedule. The following 19 columns provide information about the course to include CRN, Subject, Course Number, Section, Campus, Credits, Title, Days, Time, and Location, and Attributes. The column titled CAP refers to the maximum capacity for a class. This number is determined by the department. The column titled ACT refers to the actual number of students currently enrolled in the course. The column titled REM refers to the number of remaining open seats in a class. The columns titled XL CAP, XL ACT, and XL REM refer to a course or courses that are cross listed with the course in your search. Notice the column titled ATTRIBUTE. This is where you will see if a course meets a Core Curriculum or other degree requirement, has additional fees, requires instructor permission, or is exempt from the 3-repeat rule. From the class search results page, you can register for classes, return and perform a new search, or go back to the Add/Drop Worksheet page by selecting one of the buttons beneath the course listing.

If you have completed a class search, you can put a check in the box to the left of the course and select Register in order to add the course to your schedule. If you know the CRNs for the courses you want, you do not need to do a class search. Enter the five-digit CRN for the course(s) you want to take on the Add/Drop Classes worksheet. Use the tab key to move from one CRN space to another. Enter numbers carefully and confirm your entries. A reversal or other error in the entry of the numbers will register you for the wrong course. It is your responsibility to check the current schedule section of the add/drop worksheet to ensure you are in the correct classes. If you want to change your schedule prior to submitting it, select Reset. Confirm your schedule after you have submitted all of your course selections. When you select Submit Changes, you are registered. (You will see the course status “Web Registered” next to the course[s].) You will NOT receive an additional confirmation. If a course is incorrect or there is a registration error, return to the Register Add or Drop Courses screen and change your registration through the Action block. Errors in registration will result in error messages. In some instances you can correct the error and still add the course. For a complete explanation of the possible errors and the corrective actions, see Table 2 below under Registration Errors.

Instructor Override: Overrides Links, Co-requisites, Pre-requisites, Special Approval, Major, College, Level, Class, Degree, and Program restrictions. It does not give the student permission to enter a closed course. At present, these overrides must be performed by the Office of the Registrar for graduate students, and your LoboDen Advisor for undergraduate students.

Maximum Capacity Override: ONLY overrides the maximum capacity of a course, or closed course.

Notes: Overrides are only valid during the add/drop period. They do not allow you to add after the add/drop period has ended. If you know course requires Instructor Permission obtain a writtten override before your registration and submit it to the Office of the Registrar. If you need permission to enter a course that requires instructor permission, AND the course is closed, you will need a written authorization from the department Chair. If granted, you will need to contact the Office of the Registrar. Overrides DO NOT Register you for the class. Instructors DO NOT have the ability to register you for a class. It is YOUR responsibility to add the class after you have received the override.

If you wish to drop an existing course from your schedule, you must use the Action drop down box just right of the Status for the course you wish to drop. Select “Dropped Via Web” and then Submit changes. The course is dropped from your schedule. The course you just dropped will now be grayed out under the Summary of the Add/Drop worksheet. This function is not available after late registration ends.

If you have a hold on your record that prevent registration, you will NOT be allowed to register or adjust your schedule until the hold is removed. If you have a hold, you must contact the office that placed the hold on your account, and meet the conditions to have the hold removed. For some offices the removal of holds is an overnight process. Please allow sufficient time for your hold to be removed before your registration period begins. After you have met the conditions to remove the hold, the hold will be removed, and you will be eligible to register. You can view your holds by selecting the Holds option at the top right of your Student Profile page.

Course Attribute: A tag placed on a course that describes it in some way. The most common use so far is to identify those courses carrying a CORE for undergraduate core curriculum courses, and for restrictions by student attribute or cohort. You will see more attributes attached to courses as we move forward with Banner and its degree audit system.

CRN (Course Reference Number): Each section in the course schedule has a unique number attached to it. It is the first column you see when you do a course search. This number can be entered into the add/drop worksheet in order to register for that section.

Dropped Via Web: Shows up in a drop-down box next to a course you have already registered for. If you wish to drop the course, you must select “Dropped Via Web” and then select Submit Changes.

Grade Mode: The way in which a course is graded. The most common grade modes are standard grade (Letter grade from A to F) and CR/PR (either a CR for credit or an PR for progress is assigned)

Hold: An administrative “hold” on your student record that can prevent registration, receipt of transcripts, etc. The most common holds are for overdue student accounts, parking fines, library fines, etc. You can also have a hold for academic issues with the Dean of Students Office and for not seeing your advisor. If you have a hold that prevents registration, you must contact the office that placed the hold and take care of the issue before you can register.

Level: Indicates the level of the student and the level of coursework. At Sul Ross we have the following levels: Undergraduate (UG), Graduate (GD), and Post-baccalaureate (PB).

Part of Term: A set of dates within the larger semester. Search by Parts of Term in the Advanced Schedule Search. Parts of Term will either be 1st 8 weeks or 2nd 8 weeks for Spring or Fall semesters, or Summer I or Summer II for Summer semesters.

Registered: Course status that indicates you successfully registered yourself for a course over the web. Alternatively, a course status that indicates someone administratively registered you for a course, such as the Registrar’s Office. You will see this status next to the course on the Add/Drop Worksheet.

Submit Changes: Button you will select on the Add/Drop worksheet when you want to add a course. You will also select this button after you have selected the “Dropped Via Web” function in order to drop a course.
