Frequently Asked Questions
Registration
Ask the professor to “authorize” your enrollment in the Portal, which will then enable you to register yourself. During online registration, you can add the course with the override, or if you waitlisted yourself, you can go to courses/registration in the Portal and convert your waitlisted status to enrolled. You do that either by clicking on the “move to current” message next to the waitlisted course, or, if that message doesn’t appear, then drop the course and re-add it (the authorization will allow you to do that).
Some courses are listed in more than one way (from 2-4 different ways), e.g. Intro to Literary Study may be listed both as ENGL 190 and CPLT 190. These are called crosslisted courses. You can sign up for the course either way, but to see the combined total enrollment in the course, click on the course code link for course details; right below the description is information about the enrollment, including waitlist count. The “parent” course controls the combined total enrollment. Both the “parent” and “child” courses show as “full” once the parent cap has been reached.
You can add yourself to the waitlist for the course, in case space in the course becomes available. If the instructor authorizes you to join, you still need to add yourself to the course. If the waitlist option is not available, contact the course instructor.
When online registration is closed, a Registrar’s Office staff member will have to process the change.
First, consult with your primary (major, Spark, or AMP) advisor.
Then make the request by emailing your primary advisor and copying the instructor and registrar@beloit.edu . Ask both the advisor and instructor to “reply all” to approve the change. Once both have confirmed, a Registrar’s Office staff member will process the add/drop.
