Accessing Register & Drop/Add

In the Student Center in OneStart, you can use the Register & Drop/Add service to enroll for the upcoming term or adjust your current schedule. You can only register for classes when your enrollment date assigned by the registrar arrives.

To access the Register & Drop/Add service:

1. Log into OneStart. The "Student Center" area should be visible; if it is not, select the Services tab, and choose the Student Self-Service section on the left.

   Click Go to Student Center.

   Note: The Student Center and other Self-Service applications use pop-up pages and subpages. If your Internet pop-up blocker is set to block all pop-ups, you'll need to turn it off or change the setting to allow these pop-ups; see For Windows web browsers, how do I enable or disable pop-ups? For further assistance, contact your local Support Center.

2. In the Student Center, click Register & Drop/Add.

Registering for classes

To register for classes, from the Register & Drop/Add service in the Student Center:

1. Select classes to add. Enter a class number and then click enter, or select either Class Search (to choose from the schedule of classes) or My Planner (to choose from courses stored in your planner), and then click Search. Repeat this until you have selected all of your classes for the term.

   Alternatively, to enroll in the classes in your Enrollment Shopping Cart, in the Shopping Cart section, select the desired courses and click click to enroll in your shopping cart.

2. You will see a Confirm classes page. Examine the "Status" icons to make sure your chosen classes are available.
   
   
3. To complete the enrollment process, click Finish Enrolling.
   
   
4. You will see a View results page. A "Success" message and a green check mark in the "Status" column indicates successful registration for a class. Note any errors or messages regarding your registration.

   Note: Courses with errors will be automatically placed in your Enrollment Shopping Cart. You can correct errors and enroll later if desired.

5. To view your class schedule, click My Class Schedule. You will now see your class schedule with the status of "Enrolled".
   
   
6. To add additional classes after you've enrolled, click Add, and then click Class Search and continue from step 4 above.

If your campus uses waitlists, you can enroll in a class that is full and get placed on the waitlist. Depending on the method of enrolling you are using, once you have selected your courses, you will be taken to a screen similar to the Class Schedule.

To add yourself to the waitlist for a class:

1. Check Waitlist for that class.
   
   
2. You can specify a different class that you want to drop if you are taken off the waitlist and placed into the requested class. To select a class you want to drop:
   
   
   1. Click the magnifying glass icon in the "Drop if Enrolled" column.
   2. Select the class you want to drop. The class number will be placed in the "Drop if Enrolled" box.

   If you are removed from the waitlist and enrolled in the preferred class during the waitlist processing period, you will automatically be dropped from the class specified.

Dropping a class

To drop a class, from the Register & Drop/Add service in the Student Center:

1. Click Drop.
   
   
2. Select the class(es) to be dropped.
   
   
3. Click Drop Selected Classes.
   
   
4. You will receive a confirmation page. If the confirmation page is correct, click Finish Dropping.
   
   
5. Examine the "Status" column to be sure your changes were successful; dropped classes will have a status of "Withdrawn".

To view your schedule after dropping the class, click My Class Schedule.

Editing classes with variable credit

To edit a class with variable credit hours, from the Register & Drop/Add service in the Student Center:

1. Click Edit.
   
   
2. Courses with hours eligible to be adjusted will have a Select button to the right. Select the course to be edited.
   
   
3. From the drop-down box, select the desired hours, and then click Finish Editing.
   
   
4. Select Finish Editing.

Swapping classes

When you don't want to drop an enrolled class until you are safely enrolled in a new class (e.g., when you are changing sections of the same course), you may want to use the Swap function. From the Register & Drop/Add service in the Student Center:

1. Click Swap.
   
   
2. Select the class you want to remove from your schedule and then select a replacement; you can choose a replacement from your shopping cart, planner, or Class Search.

   Note: You cannot swap closed or waitlisted courses.

3. You will receive a confirmation page. If the classes you want to swap are correct, click Finish Swapping.

This will complete the class swap, and you will be able to view your class schedule.
