    • Within the registration lottery, we suggest assigning top rank (i.e., primary #1) to your most valued course. The next prioritized course should then be ranked as "primary # 2", etc. Include alternate courses for each primary class so that you may get preference for the alternate in case your primary is closed. Including alternates does NOT reduce your chances of getting a primary choice. It helps to increase the possibility you will end up with a schedule of classes that suits your preferences.
  • Elective Enrollment Dashboard and Course Information
    We advise students to prioritize their sections in order of preference. The following elective enrollment history dashboard may be helpful.
