Adding a Class

If you do not have the option to be added to a waitlist, change your grading basis, or change the number of units for the class, you will not see this screen.
The Credit/No Credit option is often abbreviated, such as Undergraduate - CR/NC Stdnt Opt.

Placing a class in your shopping cart does not save your place in the class. You must complete the enrollment process for your place in the class to be saved.
If there is a co-requisite for the course (e.g., you must enroll in a laboratory class in addition to the regular class), you will want to use the shopping cart as the system will not allow you to enroll in only one of the two required classes.
- Choose Enroll to enroll in the course now. Or choose Add to Shopping Cart if you want to add multiple courses to your shopping cart and then enroll in all of them at the same time.
- Then click Next.

If you chose to enroll, you are done! If you chose to add the class to your shopping cart, continue with the steps below to finalize your enrollments.
Reasons you may not be enrolled in a class after being added to the Waitlist:

14. Continue to add classes to your shopping cart using the steps above. When you are ready to enroll, click on the Shopping Cart link on the left menu.
