The chart on the Register for Course Section page provides an additional opportunity to review the section chosen, which is marked with a blue checkbox, and compare it to other available course sections.

View My Courses

The registered course should now appear under My Enrolled Courses.

Troubleshoot Registration for a Course

If unable to register for a course, select the Troubleshoot button.

Check to see whether the Enrollment Window is open.

If the Enrollment Window is listed as “No,” then it may be too early or too late to register for the course.

If the Enrollment Window is listed as “Yes,” then it is the correct time to register. 

Make sure Maximum Units have not been exceeded.  Look for any Holds preventing registration. Continue scrolling down the chart at the bottom of the page to look for a “No” in the Can Register column.
