Step 1: Find the Xpress ID Numbers of the Courses You Want

Each course section has a unique Xpress ID Number, which you can find on the section detail page and in the printed course schedules. See the example below.

Write these numbers down, or highlight the number, and copy it, and open a second Web browser window and navigate to the Express Registration Form page.

Step 2: Enter the Xpress ID Numbers into Express Registration Form

1. Type or paste the numbers in the column on the left.
2. Leave the rest of the fields blank.
3. Click "Submit." This action will add the course sections to your "Preferred Sections" list. At this point you are not registered for the sections on your list. You must take further action.

You may place any course section on your "Preferred Sections" list at any time, however once you attempt to register for it, your eligibility to register will be verified. If you are found ineligible (for instance, due to prerequisites not having been completed or advisor's permission being required) you will not be permitted to enroll. If you receive permission to enroll, you will not be permitted to register via the Web, but will be required to submit a hard copy registration form to the appropriate Registrar's Office. The presence of a course section on your "Preferred Sections" list does not indicate in any way that you will be allowed to register for the section.

Step 3: Register/Drop Course Sections

Once a course section is on your "Preferred Sections" list, you may select one of the following five actions from this dropdown menu to perform on that course section:

• RG - Register - Select to register into the section (this is the typical action).
  
• RP - Register Pass/Fail - The university uses "Pass/Fail" interchangeably with "Credit/No Credit". This option is not available through the Web for Law School students; you must submit the Election for Credit/No Credit Grade form to the Law School Registrar's Office. University students may select this option on a limited bases. Review the Credit/No Credit Policies.
• AU - Audit - Registers you for the section in audit status, which means you are allowed to sit in on the course, but not required to fulfill its academic requirements (papers, exams, etc). A course in audit status will appear on your transcript with a grade of "AU", and will not meet degree or certificate requirements. SJD students are the only degree-seeking Law School students who are allowed to audit courses. Before selecting this option, review the Auditing Courses Policies.
• RM - Remove from List - Removes the section from your "Preferred Sections" list.
• WL - Waitlist - If the section is full, you can place yourself on its waitlist (if the section allows waitlisting). Complete instructions on waitlists can be found here.
  

As illustrated by the red arrows below, you may:
(a) perform the same action on all preferred sections, or
(b) perform different actions on individual sections, and
(c) change the number of units for a variable unit course such as a clinic.
You may also:
(d) drop a section.

You may also return at a later date to take further action on the course sections on your preferred list.

After deciding what actions to take, click "Submit" at the bottom of the page.

If your registration is not successful, error messages pertaining to each course section (such as the one below) will be displayed.

The error message may be applicable to some but not all of the sections for which you are attempting to register. To register for sections for which you are not receiving an error message, change the action for the sections for which you are receiving an error message to "blank", keep the action for the other sections, and then resubmit your request.

If your registration is successful, you will be taken to the Registration Summary page.

Step 4: View Registration Results & Choose Payment Option

View the results of your registration transaction to ensure it was successful and that it is what you wanted. If you have not already selected a payment option for the term, click on the link at the top of the page to be taken to the "Choose a Payment Option" page. You must select a payment option every term at the time of registration or your registration may be canceled.
