Adding Classes After the Semester Has Started

You can add classes on WebOPUS until 11:59 p.m. on Thursday of the first week of the semester. Beginning Friday of the first week of the semester, you can only add classes in person at Skyhawk Station using the Course Addition form (must be signed by the instructor).

You will not be eligible to receive federal student loans for courses added after Census, which is Tuesday of the third week of classes (learn more about Census).

DEADLINE: The last regular day of classes is the deadline to add a class.

Waitlists

A registration waitlist is an electronic list of students who are waiting to register for a full class. All classes have an available waitlist except for those that have a required lab with a separate CRN (Course Reference Number: a unique 5-digit number assigned to each class). For example, CHEM 150 has one CRN and the CHEM 150 labs have different CRNs, so that class does not have a waitlist. 

For more information on waitlists, including how to join one and how to register off the waitlist, see our Waitlist Information for Students page.
