5. Registering in Self-Service Banner You are now in Self-Service Banner (SSB). To register, you must select the Student tab, and then click the Registration link.

6. Selecting the Term In the Registration Menu, click the Select Term link. Then choose Spring Sem 2011 from the drop-down list, and click the Submit button.

7. Adding or Dropping Classes In the Registration Menu, click the Add or Drop Classes link.

8. Dropping a Class To DROP a course, click the box below the Action heading that corresponds with the course you wish to drop. If you wish to ADD a course, scroll to the bottom of the page, to the Add Classes Worksheet.

9. Adding a Class To ADD a course, enter the CRN (Course Reference Number) and click the Submit Changes button. If you do not know the CRN, you can search the timetable by clicking the Class Search button.

10. Searching for Classes In the Search for Classes area, select any combination of your preferred search parameters using the drop-down boxes, and then click the Class Search button. REMEMBER: You MUST choose at least one subject to perform a search, but that is the only minimum requirement – If you choose one subject and leave all other items at their default settings, you will receive a list of all courses offered in that subject for the chosen semester.

11. Searching for Classes, continued After conducting the Class Search, you can select a course section by checking the box to the left of that section’s CRN. You can select more than on class on the results page. If a section is closed, a C will be displayed instead of the checkbox. If you have a student hold or registration restriction, an SR will be displayed. • You have two options with the course(s) you’ve checked: • Register, which submits your selections immediately; • Add to Worksheet, which copies the CRN(s) to a sheet that allows you to build a list • of multiple CRNs and submit them all simultaneously. This is particularly helpful • with corequisite courses.

12. How to determine if your course has a coreq When you search for classes in Banner, each section in the results list corresponds to a 5-digit Course Reference Number (CRN), shown in blue: When you click the CRN, you are given further information about that section: From here, click the “View Catalog Entry” link.

13. How to determine if your course has a coreq In the Catalog Entry, corequisites are listed below the course description: In this example, any student registering for Accounting 301 must also register for Finance 301 and Business Administration 342. (If the student has already taken the corequisite courses, this is unnecessary.)

14. Registering for corequisite courses If two or more of your courses are corequisites for one another, the Banner System will not allow you to register for those courses individually. You must register for all corequisite courses simultaneously. This may be accomplished in the following ways: Find and note all of the CRNs for your intended course sections, and then enter all of them directly into in the Add Classes Worksheetarea of the Add/Drop Classespage before hitting the button. Using the Search for Classesfeature, you can check each course section as you find it and then click the button. If all of your corequisite courses are from the same department (or if you select multiple departments), you can use the Search for Classesfunction to display the course sections and then use the checkboxes for all corequisite courses to submit them simultaneously.

15. Add Classes Worksheet After all of your corequisite courses have been added to the Add Classes Worksheet page (either by direct entry on the Add/Drop Classes page or through the Search for Classes function), click the Submit Changes button.

16. Waitlists If a course allows the Waitlist option, you will see the following message. To waitlist the course, click the box under the Action heading. If you Search for Classes button in the Student Registration Menu, you can determine the type of priority available: If the course section offers a waitlist, a 100will be listed under the WL Capacity heading. If the Cap is set at 0, no waitlist is available for that section. If the type of waitlist is “Priority” (meaning it reorders students on the list by classification), it will be listed under the Attribute heading. If the type of waitlist is “First-In” (meaning the first person added to the waitlist is the first person notified of a course opening), there will be no “Priority” attribute listed.

17. Waitlist Notes • Academic departments choose whether to offer waitlists for any or all of their course sections, as well as the types of waitlist offered (First-In or Priority). • The system will NOT automatically enroll you into the course from the waitlist. • If an opening occurs in the course and you are at the top of the waitlist, • you will be notified by email that a seat has become available. • From the moment the system sends your notification email, you will • have 24 hours to sign into Banner and add the course to your schedule. You can register for waitlists until the day before classes start. If you do not meet the registration requirements for a section, you will not be permitted to waitlist that section.

18. Registration Error Messages • These are some of the most common messages encountered during registration: • Duplicate Course with Section 20727 • (You cannot add the same course to your class schedule more than once.) • Prerequisite, corequisite, or test score requirement not met • (You have not met a requirement for the course – See your advisor.) • Student Level Restriction • (Your level—Undergrad, Graduate, etc.—restricts you from registering for this course.) • Instructor Permission Required • (You must contact the instructor to request permission to register for this course.) • Field of Study Restriction • (Your field of study restricts you from registering for this course.) • NOTE: Prior petitions completed for DARS requirements cannot automatically be applied in Banner prerequisite/corequisite checking. • If you encounter such an issue, contact your advisor for more information.
