The Incomplete Tasks section also provides:

Step 4

Step 5

This student has entered the Biology 100 lecture class number 17193.

---

Step 7

The Select Classes to Add – Enrollment Preferences page for Biology (BIOL) 100, class number 17193, displays. Review this page carefully!

1. Check the status of the class: open or closed. You can wait-list if class is full.

2. Enter a permission number if the section requires consent; otherwise skip.

3. Optional: Select the basis of grading. Check with your advisor first; a grade of Credit/No Credit may be a disadvantage. Refer to the CR/NC grading policy.

4. Review enrollment information. Do you meet course requirements?

5. Review Class Notes. Concurrent enrollment in another class could be required. 

Depending on your GE Plan, Biology 100 lecture classes require concurrent enrollment in any section of the corequisite BIOL 100L lab.*

If satisfied, select Next.

*IMPORTANT: If a corequisite class is required, put both classes in your cart before submitting your enrollment request. Otherwise, you'll get a "Requisites Not Met" error.

Learn more at course requisites.

Step 8

Your enrollment shopping cart displays the class you selected.

You are not yet enrolled in the class!

1. Search for more classes to add (add any corequisite classes now).

2. When done, select Proceed to Step 2 of 3 to continue. However,….

Because the Biology 100 lecture requires concurrent enrollment in any section of Biology 100 lab, you should put both classes into your cart before proceeding.

Let’s add the BIOL 100L lab, class number 18091, to the cart. Repeat Steps 6 and 7 above.

---

Step 9

Now that you’ve placed both corequisite classes into your enrollment shopping cart, select Proceed to Step 2 of 3.

---

Step 10

The Confirm Classes page displays the BIOL 100 lecture and BIOL 100L lab class sections in your enrollment shopping cart.

1. Proofread the classes in your cart.

2. Select Finish Enrolling to process your request.
   or
   Choose Cancel to exit without adding.

---

Step 11

When you finish enrolling, a pop-up window might display the fee payment deadline reminder for the classes you just added.

• Pay on time to avoid being disenrolled from some or all classes.

• Select the OK button to close the window and reveal the View Results page.

IMPORTANT: The pop-up window displays when you successfully enroll in at least one, but not necessarily all, of the classes you submitted. Always confirm success or errors on the View Results page!

---

Step 12

The View Results page displays errors or success for your enrollment request.

If errors are found:

1. Follow the instructions in the error message (not shown) to fix the problem.

2. Print or take a screen shot of the error message to discuss with faculty or staff.

3. Select Add Another Class to search for other classes.

If successful:

1. Read results and print any messages you want to discuss with faculty or staff.

2. To add more classes, select Add Another Class.

3. To pay for your classes and check payment deadlines, select Make a Payment.

Always check your account balance and the payment due date to avoid being disenrolled from some or all classes. Helpful: View Student Financial Account Information.

Let’s look at the My Class Schedule page.
