Using Course Entry Codes

Many courses require prerequisites or an instructor's permission to register. When you meet the prerequisites for a course you are registering for, Web registration will allow you to register. When you do not meet the prerequisites or if you are registering for a course that requires an instructor's permission, you will not be allowed to register. You will need to obtain a course entry code to enroll on-line. A course entry code is a 5-digit number that is "attached" to the course. If you are eligible to enroll, you can receive the course entry code from the instructor or division office. To use a course entry code:

  1. Enter the class item number of the course that you want to add in an item number field on the Registration page.

  2. Click the Submit Add/Drop button.
    - In the blank field next to the message, enter the 5-digit course entry code for the class.
    - A message appears indicating a course entry code is required.

  3. Click the Submit Entry Code button.

Changing Credits
If the course you are registered for is a variable credit class, a Change Credits button will appear directly below your schedule. A variable credit class is a class where you can earn any number of credits between 1 and the maximum credits attached to the class. When you register for a class, you are registered for the maximum number of credits allowed for the class. You can then change the number of credits for which you are registered. For example, if you want to complete only 3 credits of a 5 credit class, you can change the credits from 5 credits to 3 credits. You will only be charged for the number of credits you register for. To change the credits for a variable credit class:
  1. 1. On the Registration page, click the Change Credits button beneath your schedule.

    - The variable credit classes you are registered for appear in a pop up window.

  2. In the Credit field, change the number in the field to the number of credits you want. For example, change 5.0 to 3.0. You cannot register for half or partial credits, for example, 3.5 or 4.2.

  3. Click the OK button.

    -The changed credits appear in the credit field of the class.

Viewing Your Schedule
As you add or drop classes, your schedule appears in the center horizontal frame on the right side of the Registration page. Information listed for each class includes item number, course identifier, credits, audit class identifier, days the class meets, class times, building and room, class fees, and instructor name.

Web registration is "real time" or immediate. As such, you will see an immediate change to your schedule whenever you add or drop a class.
