Click the Add button in the right-hand column to add a class to your preliminary schedule.

When you click the Add button, the class will appear in the Summary section in the bottom right area of your screen, and in the Schedule section in the bottom left area of your screen.

• In the Summary section, you'll see the status is "Pending" because you are not yet registered for the class.
• You should also check to be sure the "Action" dropdown menu shows ***Web Registered***
• You then need to click the Submit button to actually register for the class.

After you click Submit, the status will change to "Registered."

If you change your mind after you register, you can drop the class by opening the Action dropdown menu:

• Click on ***Web Dropped*** and then click the Submit button.
• The status will change to "Deleted."

You can also add classes if you already know their CRN (Course Registration Number).

TIP: You can find CRNs by using the Browse Classes feature or checking the Schedule of Classes on De Anza's website.

While you're in the Register for Classes section, you can select the Enter CRNs tab instead of the Find Classes tab. After you select Enter CRNs:

• Type in the CRN.
• To add multiple CRNs, click on + Add Another CRN for each additional class.
• When you have finished entering the CRNs, click Add to Summary and they will be added to your registration summary.

• In the Summary section, you'll see the status is "Pending" because you are not yet registered for the class.
• You should also check to be sure the "Action" dropdown menu shows ***Web Registered***

You won't actually be registered for the class until you click Submit. 

You may find that a class you want is already full, which will be indicated in the Status column:

You can check for other sections of the same course, to see if any are open. You can also click the Status field for that class section to see if there are seats available on the waitlist:

If there are spaces available on the waitlist, you can click the Add button for that class, and the class will be added to your Summary, in the lower right of your screen. Next, you should click the Submit button, and you will see another message about the waitlist appear:

Now, use the Action dropdown menu and select Waitlisted, then click the Submit button again:

You should see the status change to green, showing that you are now on the waitlist for that class:

Once you're on the waitlist, the registration system will monitor the class for openings and, if a seat becomes available, the system will automatically add students in the order they are listed on the waitlist. If you are added, you will be notified by email. 

If you need to withdraw from a class, you can go to the list in your Summary of classes:

• Click to open the Action dropdown menu
• Click to select ***Web Dropped***
• Click the Submit button
• The status will change to Deleted
