    Help! I’m having issues with registering for a class. 

    Registration can be a stressful time, and many issues may arise! We’ve compiled the information below to help students resolve registration issues as soon as possible, based on the most common issues and questions that we receive. If you still have issues with registration, email your advisor or contact the department at hdfsstudentservices@ches.ua.edu . Include your CWID and a screenshot of the error, if possible.
     
    I’m receiving the error message “campus code.” How do I register for an online course?
    Students are admitted either as main campus or distance learning. If you are unsure of your status, check your DegreeWorks under “Campus Code”. For online courses, main campus students must register for sections with a campus code of OLM, or “Online- Main Campus Students.” Distance learning students must register for sections with a campus code of OL, or “Online- DL/Gadsden Students.”


    Tip! When looking up classes, you can select “Advanced Search” to filter online courses available for main campus or distance learning students.

     
    How do I get on a waitlist?
    Look up the course and write down the five digit CRN of the section you would like. Go back to myBama and select "add or drop classes." In one of the boxes near the bottom of the screen, input the CRN and select "submit changes." If there is a waitlist available, an error message should pop up with instructions.
     
    What do I do if the class is full, but there’s no waitlist?
    First, check with your advisor and make sure the class is critically necessary for the semester. If an HD class is full, students may hdfsstudentservices@ches.ua.edu . For other classes, please contact the department offering the class directly to the Department Program. An override is NOT guaranteed, and there may be many reasons why a denial is necessary. Overrides should only be sought in special cases- if the particular course is necessary for a timely graduation or there are other serious considerations, include them in your email.

    How do I register for HD 488?
    Students needing HD 488 should take it their senior year, and students must have at least 90 registered hours in order to register. If you have issues with HD 488, try registering for it last, after your other courses are registered. If you are registered for at least 90 hours and still have issues with HD 488, contact hdfsstudentservices@ches.ua.edu .
