9. Where do I find holds on my account?
Holds can be located on the One Stop Services tab on the Registration Tools area by clicking the Registration Status link
10. I've already registered, how do I find out details about the classes I registered for (such as when they meet)?
There are two ways to look at this: Student Detail Schedule and Week at a Glance. To get to either of these, log into MySanDiego, click on the One-Stop Tab and click on "Add / Drop Classes." Select the appropriate term and then click on "RETURN TO MENU" on the upper-right. At this point you can choose:
- Student Detail Schedule - This lists all of your classes and gives details such as when they meet, who is teaching them, etc.
- Week at a Glance - This is a calendar view that shows your classes for a given week laid out in a table. Note that the first week of the semester is often not a full week, so you may need to click on "Next Week" to get a more accurate representation of your weekly schedule. Classes that meet intermittently will only show up if you're viewing the appropriate week.
Registration Errors
1. I don’t see all the classes I requested as Registered in the ‘Add/Drop Classes’ page. Where are they?
Scroll down the page… the successful registrations appear at the top, but any registration request that results in an error will be below the successful registrations. The course with registration errors will be flagged with an X in a red circle. There will be a message indicating the type of problem.
Common types of Registration Error messages:
- Class Closed – the enrollment limit for this class has been reached. Select a different section which fits in your schedule.
- Time Conflict with <CRN> - This course meets at the same time (or overlaps) one of the Registered sections at the top of the page. Select a section which meets at a different time.
- Some Type of Restriction – This could be a number of different types of restrictions:
Class – your class standing (Freshman, Sophomore, etc.) does not meet the requirements for the class.
Level – the class is restricted to students with a specific career (e.g. Graduate, Law, Undergraduate).
Major – the class is restricted to a student with a specific Major (.e.g. MATH).
Pre-Requisite Error – The class has either courses and/or test scores which must be completed or be in progress in order to be eligible to register for this class.
