How to register for courses (University)
Course registration is credit-bearing and prerequisite-gated. You register each session; an advisor approves your selections before they become active.
Before you start
- Registration opens at the start of each session. Your administrator will announce the registration window.
- Check your prerequisites before registering. See How to check prerequisites.
- You need at least one approved registration to appear on the timetable for that session.
Steps
- Go to Assessment → Registration.
- Select Register for a course.
- Browse or search the course list.
- Courses you are eligible for show a Register button.
- Courses with unmet prerequisites show Unavailable with the reason (e.g. Requires: MATH101 — min 2.0 points).
- Select Register on the course you want.
- Confirm the registration. The row is created with status Pending.
- Repeat for each course you want to take this session.
Registration statuses
| Status | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Pending | Awaiting advisor approval |
| Active | Approved — course is on your timetable |
| Dropped | You dropped the course (row kept for audit trail) |
| Rejected | Advisor declined — a reason is shown |
After registering
Your advisor (Admin or Moderator) reviews pending registrations and approves or rejects them. You will receive an in-app notification when a decision is made.
Duplicate registration
You cannot register for the same course twice in the same session while an active registration exists. If you dropped a course and want to re-register, create a new registration.
Add/drop period
During the add/drop window:
- Add: register for additional courses as above.
- Drop: open the registration row and select Drop. The row is kept for the audit trail; only dropped rows can be deleted.
