Campus Portal Student Registration Feature Settings
The Student Registration feature in the Campus Portal replaces the Course Schedules feature. It allows all students to develop their schedules using a planning calendar. If they have an academic plan, it guides them to courses in their plan. If they don't have a plan but have a degree audit, it guides them to courses that meet their remaining requirements. If they have neither an academic plan nor degree audit, they use a general course search to place courses on their planning calendars.
From the planning calendar, students can try various schedules, resolve schedule conflicts, take care of holds, get approvals and clearances, and pay for must-pay courses. The search and calendar have links to contact the course instructor or the student's advisor. When they're ready, students can register for courses directly from the calendar.
Caution
The Student Registration Feature setting must be on in order for students to use the planning calendar and for their course searches to be guided by their academic plans or degree audits.
Note
The Campus Portal Student Registration Feature setting appears on both the Registration Settings and the Advising Settings page.
Tip
If your school is using the Campus Portal Student Registration feature, students can withdraw themselves from courses. If you're using the old Course Schedules feature, they can't withdraw themselves. Staff must withdraw students.
Off: All students register using the Course Schedules feature. The planning calendar is not available, and students are not guided toward courses that fit their academic plan or meet their degree requirements.
Display 'All Divisions' Option: This on/off setting appears only when Campus Portal Student Registration Feature is turned off. It lets you allow students to search for courses in all divisions at once.
Caution
Displaying the "All Divisions" option for students can cause performance issues or lockups during heavy traffic on your network. We recommend keeping it off unless you really need your students to be able to search for courses in all divisions at once.
On: All students register using the Student Registration feature. All students can use the planning calendar. Students are guided by their academic plan or degree audit if they have them.
