Canvas
Once logged into Canvas, you will see your classes in Dashboard. If you don't see all your classes listed, don't worry. Some instructors don’t make their courses available until the first day of the semester, while others make them available earlier. It’s a good idea to begin checking Canvas and your student email at least a week before the semester begins, and always be sure to log in to your classes on the first day of the semester!
Self-Service
Self-Service is a one-stop-shop for accessing student information. Here, you can find your class schedule, register for classes, check your Financial Aid status, view your transcript, pay fees, and more!

Attend your classes on the first day of school. If you are taking an online class, be sure to access your courses in Canvas through My Portal the first day of the semester. You may be dropped from a class if you do not attend the first class meeting or do not access your online courses in Canvas.
If the class you are looking for has a waitlist, press the blue button in Self-Service to join the waitlist. It will remain on your schedule until you receive permission to register through your student email. Once you have received that, make sure you go back into your schedule and register for the class before the expiration date, four days from when you are given permission. If you miss your registration window, you’ll be removed from the waitlist – so check your email daily!
If you are still on the waitlist by the time the class starts, or just need to add a class after the semester begins, add the class to your schedule and either sit in the class or, if the class is online, email the professor on the first day of class. If there is availability, the professor will authorize you to add the class. Once they do that, you can go back to your schedule and register for the class. You will see a blue message saying “authorized to add.” If you were on the waitlist, you will have a higher priority over other students, so make sure to let the professor know.
TIP: Make sure you know your ID number when asking a professor to join their class. They will need it to give you the authorization to add the class. Remember, you can register for a class online through Self-Service until 11:59 pm the day before the first class session.
