    Once you have run a class search, the Look Up <BR>Classes screen with your search results will <BR>display. When you have found the class you want to <BR>register for, look below each column heading. In the first column under select, a box that you <BR>can check means you can register for this <BR>course. A “C” under select means that the class is <BR>closed. CRN lists the course reference number a unique <BR>5 digit number that identifies each course. You will also see the Subject, Course Number, <BR>Section, Campus, Credit Hours, Title of the <BR>course, and Days and Time the course meets. Cap shows the number of students who can be <BR>enrolled in the class. Act shows the actual number of students who <BR>have enrolled in the class. Rem shows the remaining number of available <BR>seats in the class. WL columns indicate wait list availability. WL (Cap) shows the number of students who <BR>can be placed on the Wait list. WL (Act) shows Actual number of students on <BR>the Waitlist. WL (Rem) shows remaining seats on the <BR>waitlist. Prior to registering for a course, check the WL <BR>Act column to see if there are students’ <BR>waitlisted. Waitlisted students are given first priority to <BR>register for closed classes that become <BR>available. Although, the class will have a registration <BR>check box, if you register, you will see a <BR>registration add errors message and can waitlist the class only. Entries other than 0 in the XL columns, indicate <BR>that the class is cross listed. Cross listing means that the same course is <BR>listed under another subject area or department. Notice that there is no option to add a cross <BR>listed class to the wait list. In the cross-listed columns, XL Cap shows the <BR>total number of students who can be enrolled for <BR>cross-listed sections. XL Act shows the actual number of students <BR>enrolled for cross-listed sections. XL Rem shows the remaining number of seats <BR>available for cross-listed sections. Notice that actual enrollment and remaining <BR>seats listed in XL columns are different from actual enrollment and remaining seats <BR>listed in section columns. The reason is because XL columns display <BR>registration for the cross-listed sections, not just <BR>individual sections. When a class is cross listed, it is important to <BR>check both the section columns and XL columns <BR>for seat availability and maximum capacity. Once maximum capacity for the cross-listed <BR>sections has been reached in this case 31 <BR>students, all sections will be closed. The Instructor, Date, Location and Attribute of <BR>the class are also displayed. If the instructor is not listed, you will see TBA to <BR>be announced. Also, be sure to note the location of the class <BR>when creating your schedule. Each semester, a few courses may be taught <BR>online or off campus. For example, an “OL” <BR>listing under location will mean an online course. The last column, the Attribute column, shows a <BR>listing of all the attributes that describe a <BR>course. To view more information about a course, in the <BR>look up classes screen, click on the course <BR>CRN number. Scroll down to see the associated term, <BR>registration dates, levels, attributes, instructional <BR>method, credits, and scheduled meeting times. To see more detailed class information, click on <BR>the Course link. In the Detailed Class Information screen, you <BR>can check registration availability such as seats, wait list seats, if there are any <BR>restrictions, prerequisites or general <BR>requirements. To return to the Look Up Classes screen, scroll <BR>down and click on Return To Previous.
