Plan your schedule ahead of time via your Enrollment Validation. Enrollment Validation is typically available to you a few weeks prior to your actual Enrollment Appointment.

Think of Enrollment Validation as creating a "rough draft" of your schedule. You can get most of the work finished ahead of time. Students who plan schedules ahead of time encounter fewer last-minute problems and are more likely to get the classes and times they prefer.

Use Enrollment Validation to:

1. Plan your schedule via Schedule Planner ahead of time
2. Verify the courses are available for enrollment
3. Identify additional steps required before enrollment (1class permits, consent, prerequisite, time conflict, etc.)
4. Help avoid last minute problems getting courses. You will need to check your schedule regularly because courses may fill up with students who have earlier appointment times, so your schedule is not guaranteed until you actually complete enrollment.

To access Schedule Planner:

1. Navigate to the Student Center within GET (see prior instructions if you don't know how to do this).
2. Click on the Schedule Planner link.

   

3. After reading the instructions, click on the green CLICK HERE button. (Note: You may need to disable the pop-up blocker on your web browser, since Schedule Planner will start as a pop-up window.)

   

4. Schedule Planner will open in a new window.

Pay any tuition and fees not covered by your anticipated term financial aid at least three days prior to your Enrollment Appointment day and time. Financial Aid will send notifications including anticipated aid to students who met the priority application date. Additional information on deadlines for term tuition, fees and late fees can be found on the Cashier's Office webpage.

Certain classes may need instructor, department, or other consent for you to enroll. Be sure to contact the department and/or instructor to obtain permission well before your Enrollment Appointment.

Return to the Student Center when your Enrollment Appointment day and time arrive. Your appointment date and time will be listed in the Student Center.

Click on the Schedule Planner link. Review your schedule, confirm classes are still available and make any needed adjustments.

Hint: Refer to Enrollment Step 3 for more on how to use Schedule Planner.

Once you have your Class Schedule selected and chosen, click the Validate button to validate your schedule. Once that has been successfully completed click the Send to Shopping Cart button.

Once you are in the Shopping Cart you can again Validate your schedule. After Validation, click the Register button.

You will be prompted to confirm you want to register. Click Continue and complete the registration process.

You will receive a confirmation that you enrolled.
