Review the section titled “Enrollment Dates” in your Student Center |
Review the section titled “Enrollment Dates” and note there are two appointment times listed. You will have a “Shopping Cart Appointment” and an “Enrollment Appointment” which is specific to your year level/class. Use the “Shopping Cart Appointment” process as a registration planning tool. This functionality allows you to select your course preferences and check for time conflicts, required prerequisites, permission only classes and course repeats prior to actual registration time. |

Schedule advising appointment with your primary adviser (adviser for the major). |
Schedule an appointment with your primary adviser during Advising Week, April 1-5, 2013 to be advised for classes and have the adviser hold removed by your primary adviser to be authorized for registration. All on-campus students must have adviser hold released by their primary adviser at the completion of scheduled advising session in order to begin loading the shopping cart and validating course selections via the Student Center prior to assigned enrollment appointment time. This is very important! Students participating in HWS domestic and abroad programs must contact their adviser to be advised for classes; however the adviser hold will not be applied. |

Begin loading your shopping cart |
During April 1 - 5, 2013 begin loading your shopping cart after the adviser hold has been released. Go to your Student Center, click on “plan” and begin loading your shopping cart with your course preferences. Once you’ve loaded your shopping cart, click the “validate” button at bottom of page to validate your course selections. This process checks the selected shopping cart courses for time conflict and prerequisite requirements prior to actual registration. Be sure to correct error messages/potential problems that are identified from the validation process before you register. We recommend that students select 3-4 classes at a time when using the validation function. Run this process prior to your actual enrollment appointment time to optimize registration processing time. Please note you are not officially enrolled until you register for the classes in your shopping cart during your assigned enrollment appointment period. Be sure to check prerequisites in Schedule of Classes posted on the Registrar’s web page. |

Enroll for classes from the Shopping Cart |
After you have validated your course selection, you must then register by clicking on the "Enroll" button during your assigned enrollment period. A student's best chance for getting the classes he or she truly wants is to only select the checkbox for those courses and hitting the "Enroll" button. While it is a good idea to have alternate courses ready to go in your shopping cart, it is not recommended to enroll for more than FOUR courses at a time. |

Add yourself to the waitlist for closed classes |
Waitlisting - If a class is closed and the waitlist is available, a yellow triangle will appear along with a checklist box in your shopping cart. If you wish to be placed on the waitlist, check the box and proceed. There is no notice of enrollment, so check your student center frequently. It is recommended that you enroll in 3-4 courses and waitlist on your preferred class by using the “swap” option to choose a class you want to drop in its place. You will not be automatically enrolled in the class until the system verifies all enrollment eligibility requirements (such as prerequisites are met, no time conflicts, appropriate lab selected, possible instructor consent needed) have been met. |

Contact course instructors for overload permits |
Course overloads – If you get closed out of a class, you may contact the course instructor for an overload permit. If the request is approved by the instructor, you may be given an assigned permit number which is required to register on-line for the class through the Student Center (These permit numbers will be sent to your HWS email address or given to you by the instructor of the class). You may also use the registration form to register for a class as an overload. In this case, be sure the course instructor writes “OK as overload” on the registration form or indicate the permit number given to you by the instructor of the class. |

In the event of deregistration, re-registration is on a space available basis, and students may not be able to re-enter the courses for which they were previously enrolled. Deregistered students who have been cleared by the Bursar may attempt to reregister into their original class schedule before the first day of classes. Students are urged, therefore, to resolve all financial responsibilities within the established deadline.
