TALON REGISTRATION INSTRUCTIONS

Select course registration from the available menu options. Select the appropriate semester from the available listing—only those semesters available for registration will appear. Any restrictions on your academic record will appear at this time. Please be aware that a major restriction on your record will not allow you to register for courses.

 From the course registration menu you will be able to:

• Add courses to your schedule

   Including concurrent courses (lecture/lab)

• Search for available courses

• Drop courses from your schedule

• Change sections

To add a course to your schedule, use the ADD COURSE feature from the drop down menu along with the department abbreviation, course number, and section number. You will add one course at a time.

**You no longer need course reference (CREF) numbers to register for courses.

If you are adding concurrent courses (lecture/lab) you can start by adding either course to your schedule. If the courses are directly linked, then both courses will be added to your schedule at the same time. If the courses are not directly linked, you will be directed to a menu that lists concurrent courses that are open and fit into your schedule. You must select one of these courses to successfully add both courses to your schedule. If there are no concurrent courses available, the first course you selected will not be added to your schedule.

If you would like to search for available courses you will need to select the SEARCH COURSE feature from the drop down menu. Enter the 3-letter department abbreviation and the course number and select submit. All open courses will be displayed for review. You can select the course you would like to add on the left hand side of the screen, then click on the submit button.

To Drop a course from your schedule, select the course you wish to remove and click on the DROP COURSE icon on the left side of your schedule. If you wish to drop courses from your schedule, you must remove them one at a time.

To Change Sections, use the CHANGE SECTIONS feature from the drop down menu along with the
3-letter department abbreviation, course number, and the section number in which you are enrolled and the new section number. Click on the Submit Icon.

If you incorrectly enter information into the TALON system you will receive pop-up window error messages. Please follow the instructions in these error messages to continue with your registration session. For example: if you enter only the 3-letter department abbreviation and course number in the ADD COURSE feature you will receive an error message indicating that you must enter a valid section code.

You may receive an error message even if you correctly enter all required information into the TALON system. These error messages appear in bold red print. For example: if you try to add a course that conflicts with your schedule you will receive a message indicating the course has not been added due to a time conflict. If you have questions regarding these error messages, please see the Glossary of Terms.

Remember to return to the TALON menu to print your schedule from “Display open class schedule/grades” when you have finished registering. Always log off the TALON system and close your Internet browser window when you finish your registration session.
