A Step-by-Step Guide to Registration

Step 6: Prepare a Registration Planning Worksheet

1. Check the University Catalog for complete course descriptions of all the classes you are considering. Take careful notice of any prerequisites, corequisites, and the semester(s) the courses are offered.
2. Determine which courses have the greatest priority for you, and list the courses you want in priority order. Note alternative courses or sections which will also fit your schedule. Your registration will be limited to 17 units until after the fee payment deadline, so pick your most important courses and restrict your requests to no more than 17 units during your priority registration day or the open registration periods.
3. Use the appropriate registration planning worksheet (available in the navigation bar to the right) to record all necessary information. Fill in all of the columns on the worksheet, especially the Class Number (Class #), the unique number which identifies the course and section. Use the “Time Worksheet” available from the Advising Office to help. Include work, study, and lab time, too.
