Once you have run a class search, the Look Up <BR>Classes screen with your search results will <BR>display.
When you have found the class you want to <BR>register for, look below each column heading.
In the first column under select, a box that you <BR>can check means you can register for this <BR>course.
A
“C”
under select means that the class is <BR>closed.
CRN
lists the course reference number a unique <BR>5 digit number that identifies each course.
You will also see the
Subject
,
Course Number
, <BR>
Section
,
Campus
,
Credit Hours
,
Title
of the <BR>course, and
Days
and
Time
the course meets.
Cap
shows the number of students who can be <BR>enrolled in the class.
Act
shows the actual number of students who <BR>have enrolled in the class.
Rem
shows the remaining number of available <BR>seats in the class.
WL
columns indicate wait list availability.
WL (Cap)
shows the number of students who <BR>can be placed on the Wait list.
WL (Act)
shows Actual number of students on <BR>the Waitlist.
WL (Rem)
shows remaining seats on the <BR>waitlist.
Prior to registering for a course, check the
WL
<BR>
Act
column to see if there are students’ <BR>waitlisted.
Waitlisted students are given first priority to <BR>register for closed classes that become <BR>available.
Although, the class will have a registration <BR>check box, if you register, you will see a <BR>registration add errors message
and can waitlist the class only.
Entries other than 0 in the
XL
columns, indicate <BR>that the class is cross listed.
Cross listing means that the same course is <BR>listed under another subject area or department.
Notice that there is no option to add a cross <BR>listed class to the wait list.
In the cross-listed columns,
XL Cap
shows the <BR>total number of students who can be enrolled for <BR>cross-listed sections.
XL Act
shows the actual number of students <BR>enrolled for cross-listed sections.
XL Rem
shows the remaining number of seats <BR>available for cross-listed sections.
Notice that actual enrollment and remaining <BR>seats listed in
XL
columns are different
from actual enrollment and remaining seats <BR>listed in section columns.
The reason is because
XL
columns display <BR>registration for the cross-listed sections, not just <BR>individual sections.
When a class is cross listed, it is important to <BR>check both the section columns and XL columns <BR>for seat availability and maximum capacity.
Once maximum capacity for the cross-listed <BR>sections has been reached in this case 31 <BR>students, all sections will be closed.
The
Instructor
,
Date
,
Location
and
Attribute
of <BR>the class are also displayed.
If the instructor is not listed, you will see
TBA
to <BR>be announced.
Also, be sure to note the location of the class <BR>when creating your schedule.
Each semester, a few courses may be taught <BR>online or off campus. For example, an
“OL”
<BR>listing under location will mean an online course.
The last column, the
Attribute
column, shows a <BR>listing of all the attributes that describe a <BR>course.
