How to prepare for registration

  1. View Your Enrollment Appointment in PAWS to find out the exact date and time you can begin to register for classes.
  2. Search for Classes and Fill Your PAWS Shopping Cart before your enrollment appointment.  For more information, visit PAWS Help.
  3. Check out the College Core Search Engine to identify courses that meet Liberal Learning requirements and match your interests.
  4. Check for Requisite Issues to confirm you have met course requirements. The Validate feature in your PAWS Shopping Cart alerts you to any issues that may prevent you from enrolling.
  5. Check your PAWS Account for Holds early and frequently. Registration holds will prevent you from enrolling in your classes.
  6. Meet with your advisor to discuss appropriate course selection. Follow any scheduling instructions you receive from your advisor or department.
  7. Review Waitlist Procedures to see if waitlisting is available for a closed class section. Waitlist procedures vary according to department and are detailed on this webpage.
