Instructor approval
If you are taking a class which requires instructor approval, you will need to obtain portal permission from the instructor before the class can be added to your schedule. Obtain signatures for Independent Study, Directed Reading, Research classes using the Independent Study/Directed Reading/Research Approval form.

Student Responsibility
It is the student's responsibility to enroll in classes and sports. An instructor may give approval, but you will be responsible for adding (or dropping) the class to your schedule.

Emails to Registrar
Use your last name as the first entry on the subject line for e-mails concerning your web-registration so the email will be spotted more quickly.

Correct Units
Make sure you check the number of units that are entered into your schedule for , Independent Study, Directed Reading, or Research. Is the correct number of units showing?

Off-Campus Courses
Registration for other Claremont College courses is done on your home campus. Please note that while courses from the other Claremont Colleges may show seats available on the portal and website, the number of seats available to each of the non-hosting colleges may be limited or closed to cross-registration and/or require instructor approval. Clicking on the "Requirements" and "View" buttons will provide you with this information. Portal permission may be given to a student after limits have been reached. Each class is different and in some cases permission may not be given until class has started, if at all. This is to allow the hosting college's students the first opportunity to register. Check with the instructor for their particulars.

Class Conflicts
Classes with overlapping times require a Class Conflict form to be filled out and signed by both course instructors showing how the conflict is being resolved. If this form has not been completed at the time of pre-registration, you will only be allowed to add one of these classes to your schedule. The other course can be added by the Registrar's Office when the conflict form has been completed.

Alternate electives
It is strongly recommended that you have alternate electives chosen in the event that a desired class is full. These should be noted with a checkmark on your web-registration card. If needed, there are extra lines and special instruction space on the back of the pre-reg card. If you have a "later" start time, this is especially important because classes are more likely to be full. HSA course alternates which are not on your web-registration card do not require your HSA adviser's signature beforehand during web-registration. You will however be required to notify your HSA adviser in writing within 24 hours of using a non-approved alternate HSA class. This alternate choice is subject to HSA adviser's approval.

Adviser approval
It is a recommended that you make arrangements to see your advisers as early as possible. Each adviser has many advisees and you each have individual schedules to accommodate. If you cannot locate your adviser, the related department chair can sign for his/her faculty in some cases. Don't expect to find your adviser for a signature at the last moment.

Full/Closed Class
If a class is full, portal permission from the instructor can get you into the class.

HMC Wait Lists
If a HMC class is full, you can ask for portal permission. Unprocessed requests for permission to add the class become the class wait list.
