ADDING CLASSES IN BANNER SELF-SERIVCE:

• Students can add a class in Banner Self-Service when (a) there are available seats, (b) other prereq/coreq requirements are met, and (c) there are no restrictions otherwise blocking registration (i.e. course requires faculty permission).
• Classes that require department permission may not be added through Banner Self-Service. The faculty contacts will be sending the Office of the Registrar a daily list of students to add and/or drop.

DROPPPING CLASSES IN BANNER SELF-SERIVCE:

• Courses should not be dropped unless the student is sure that the course is no longer needed or that a seat has been secured in an alternate course/section. 
  • Students may use the “Conditional Add and Drop” feature to ensure they are dropped from their original course/section only if they are able to successfully add a new one.
• If a course is dropped inadvertently, the student may not be able to re-register. Students should use caution when dropping courses!

IMPORTANT NOTES ABOUT WAITLISTS:

• Automatic Waitlist notification process will run prior to the start of the semester (Monday, August 10 – Friday, August 21).
  • Courses that require special permission/approval to be added and FYS courses do not maintain a waitlist.
• Students will receive a notice via email if a seat becomes available in a waitlisted course, with direction to add the class through Banner Self-Service within 48 hours:
  • Select “Web Registered” from the action dropdown menu for the course in the ‘Summary’ panel.
  • Click “Submit.”
• Important note about lab courses: Only lab sections will carry waitlists. If a lecture/lab combination is full, waitlist yourself for the lab. If a seat becomes available, you will be notified via email and must login to Banner Self-Service within 48 hours to register for the course:
  • Select “Web Registered” from the action dropdown menu for the lab section in the ‘Summary’ panel.
  • Add a lecture section to your summary via one of the registration methods (Find Class, Enter CRN, or from a Plan).
  • Click “Submit.”

Banner Self-Service registration will be available for the add/drop period, Friday, August 28, 6:00pm- Friday, September 4, 5:00pm.

The Registrar’s Office will not utilize a paper add/drop form during this time period and will not accept instructor approval or registration requests via email. All override and schedule changes must be completed online through Banner Self-Service.

ADDING CLASSES IN BANNER SELF-SERIVCE:

• All requests to add a class require the permission of the professor.

  • NOTE: Overrides are granted for individual sections/CRNs only.
• If a professor issues an override permit, STUDENTS MUST LOGIN TO BANNER SELF-SERVICE AND REGISTER FOR THE CLASS.
  • Students can view their overrides permits on the ‘Prepare for Registration’ page.
