Enrolling in Classes
To enroll in classes, the quickest and easiest solution to build you schedule all at once is to search for classes and add desired ones to the Schedule Builder. The Schedule Builder checks all sections for selected courses and picks sections that will fit within your weekly schedule. Once a schedule has been built, you also have the ability to add/drop/swap those classes if desired.
If you have already enrolled the majority of your schedule but want to search for and enroll in just a single additional course, using the Advanced Class Search and the Shopping Cart is the best method.
Enrollment Using Schedule Builder (Recommended)
- Click on the Enrollment section in the left-hand sidebar of your Student Dashboard.
- Click Schedule Builder.
- Click the Continue button. You can also check the Skip this message in the future option to hide the introductory message.

- Fill out the search fields with your desired course information. The Start Date and End Date fields can be left blank to search the entire term. You can also specify time you are unavailable and the minimum and maximum amount of break time you would like between classes. The Course Attribute and Couse Attribute Value fields can be used to search for courses that fulfill undergraduate general education curriculum requirements.
- You can designate days and times that you might not be available for class; practice, work, meetings. To designate this unavailable time, Title your unavailability, choose the times (7:00 am -10:00 pm), and day(s) of the week you are not available and click Apply. You can have more than one time unavailable. If classes are in conflict with your unavailable time, you will receive an Error beside that class when you build your schedule.

Waitlisting a Course
If a class is full when you attempt to enroll, you have the option of joining the waitlist. Please note, not all sections will have the Waitlist option, because not all sections choose to use the my.ÃÛÌÒ½´waitlist. If there is no waitlist option available, then you can contact the department with any questions about enrolling in the section.
You can now add yourself to a section waitlist, even if you are enrolled in another conflicting class or an alternate section of the same class. This will allow you to have a backup class already enrolled in case you are not moved off of the waitlist for a preferred section. In order to do this, you must utilize the SWAP function whenever adding yourself to the waitlist.
You can verify if you have successfully utilized the SWAP function (drop if enrolled), by navigating to the Drop Classes page. In the Enrollment section in the left-hand sidebar of your Student Dashboard, click Drop Classes.
If you utilized the SWAP function (drop if enrolled), the class that will be dropped if you are successfully enrolled from the waitlist will have the noted red icon under the Status column.
Hovering over this icon will show the class number of the waitlist section.
If you did not use the SWAP function, no information about the Drop if Enrolled in section will appear on the Drop Classes page.
Joining the Waitlist
- Follow steps 1-7 for Enrolling in Classes with Schedule Builder or steps 1-4 in Enrollment Using Shopping Cart.
- If a course has a waitlist option, you will be prompted to select each class and then check the Waitlist if class is full option, then click Save.
- Continue the enrollment process as usual. You will be added to the waitlist automatically if the class has no available seats.
