Web Registration

Hello, Oakland University students. Today, we'll be showing you how to register for classes through your My Sale account. The first thing you'll need to do is access mysale.oakland.edu and log in with your net ID and password. Once you've logged in, you should see a screen similar to this one. At the top of the screen, you should see some boxes with images called cards. Here we've circled the one that says registration and degree planning. To get started, hover your mouse over this card. Once you've got your mouse hovered over the card, it should drop down a new menu of registration and degree planning items. You'll see an item that says Register classes. We're going to click on that to move forward. You should now see the registration menu through your sale account. Before we move forward, please also notice that there's an option to prepare for registration. This is a helpful screen that shows you your registration status or if you have any holds on your account that might prevent registration. For the purposes of this tutorial, we are going to click on the item that says Register for classes. On the next screen, select the term for which you are trying to register. Once you've selected the correct term, press the continued button to move forward. The first way to search for classes is by searching by subject and course number. The subject is a three letter abbreviation for the classes offered at Oakland University. For example, the subject for communication courses is com, C-O-M. Begin typing the subject or if you're not sure of the abbreviation, just type the class type. For example, typing the word communication will bring up the abbreviation for com. As you type, the subjects will begin to drop down for you to select so be sure to click on the subject that you wish to search for. Once the subject has been populated, you can enter the course number. The course numbers are four digit numbers that are associated with the subject. For example, if you are searching for the class Com 1501, your course number that is entered will be 1501. Once that information is entered in both the subject and course number fields, you can hit the search button to continue. This will then populate a list of all the available sections for the semester you've searched for. For example, we're currently looking at all available sections of Com 1501 for this particular term. Once you've decided which class you want to take after paying attention to things like meeting times and instructional methods, you can click on the add button in the far right column to add the course to your summary. Once you've added the class to your summary, you'll notice that the class is not quite added yet. You'll see that the class will show up in your summary quadrant as pending. In order to make sure that you save the changes, hit the submit button in the bottom right hand corner. If the change is successful, the summary quadrant will now show green and list the class as registered. If you encounter any error messages when trying to add the course, the course will display a red error message with a text box up top indicating the specific error message that you've encountered. Please visit our website for more information on registration errors and how to address each one. Once you finish adding your first class, you can press the green search again button to return to the main search menu to find another course by subject and course number. You can also add a class to your schedule if you know the CRN or course reference number for the specific class you were looking for. CRNs are unique five digit numbers that correspond to each section of a class. If you know this number, you can enter CRNs tab and enter the five digit number into the field to add it to your summary and save your changes. If your academic advisor has created a plan for you for which you can register, click on the Plans Tab. For more instructions on how to register specifically from a plan, follow our written instructions on how to register that are posted on our website. Thank you so much for following along on this How to Register tutorial. If you run into any issues or have any questions, please feel free to call registrar services at 248-370-3450 for assistance.

Hello future and or current students. Today I will be showing you how you can register for link courses or sections. So first I am going to start off with a little explanation of what a linked section is. So, linked sections mean that there is a lecture that is linked with the required lab for the class and vice versa. As you can see, when the class is part of the linked section, you should see under the status column that it says, linked at the bottom. If you wanted to view the linked labs or lectures that go along with it. You would click on viewed linked towards the right. Once you click on viewed linked towards the right, you can see that for this lecture that I clicked on there are four different labs that you can register for. Once you decide which lab you want to go along with your lecture, you can go ahead and click on add all at the top right. What this will do is it will add both the lecture and lab to your summary at the bottom right. Once you have your final decision, go ahead, and click submit and that will register both those sections, the lab, and the lecture. Another thing to keep in mind when your clicking on viewed link is when you clicked on viewed link with the lab, it will only display one lecture that goes along with that lab. There will not be 4 or 5 different lectures you can choose from. I hope you have found this helpful and thanks for watching.

Hello future and or current students. So, when your registering you might have seen a conditional add and drop check box at the bottom when registering. Today I will be showing how you can utilize this conditional add and drop checkbox and exactly what it does. So, conditional add and drop is utilized when you want to swap out an already registered class for a new class you are trying to register. So, for example here, say that I wanted to register for survey of accounting, and I wanted to drop intro to financial accounting. So, what I would do is, I would make sure that conditional add and drop is checked down here at the bottom and then I will go ahead and add the survey of accounting class. You can see here that it is pending. I will go ahead and click on the intro to financial and click web dropped. When I get ready to click submit, it will add the survey of accounting class and will drop the intro to financial accounting class. So, on the other hand, if you cannot web register for that class, then the conditional add or drop will not work. For example, as you can see here, I still have survey of accounting web registered. If I wanted to web register for managerial/cost accounting I will go ahead and click add. As you can see its pending and then I will go ahead and click on web dropped for the survey of accounting class and select conditional add or drop. When I click submit this will bring up an error letting you know that you cannot do the conditional add or drop for these two classes because a class you were trying to web register for will not allow it. The reason why you cannot web register for a class could be either you are not meeting a pre req (requirement) or co req (requirement), the class is full (the last spot has been taken up), or the class becomes closed. I hope you have found this useful and know a little bit more about conditional add and drop. Thank you for watching.

Ok now I will show you how you can view your position on your waitlist and when you are notified which is the time remaining and the day you have to accept your spot in the class. First thing you do is over towards the left there should be a box that says schedule. I know here it is kind of hard to see, it shows the lettering as in white, but it is this first spot over here. So, go ahead and click on where it says schedule details. This will pull up all your classes and your summary. If you look for the class that you waitlisted for, then you will see that it is waitlisted and towards the bottom it will say the waitlist position. For example, 1 and notification expires. What they mean by notification expire is that when it is your turn to get a position in the class, you will be notified via email and you will have up to 48 hours to add your self into the class. If you do not add your self within that 48 hours you will lose your spot and it will go to the next person on the list. And then if you wanted to waitlist for that class again you will be put back at the bottom of the waitlist. Thank you for watching.

Hello future or current students, today I will be showing you can change the credits for your class. So you might have seen how some of your classes under the hours column will say something like 0 or 1, or 1 to 4, etc. What this mean is that you can change how many credits you want that class to account for. So, for example here, you can see this university chorus class under the hour column says 0 or 1. What this means is that the class can be worth 0 credits or it can be worth 1 credit. So, if you wanted to change how many credits the class is worth, go ahead and click on add over on the right. Once the class has been added to your summary, click submit. Once the class has been registered and submitted go ahead and click on where it says schedule and options. In schedule and options, you should see the class listed or classes if there are multiple. Under the hours column you should see a number with a little line under it. Go ahead and click on that number and a drop-down box will appear. Click on that drop-down box and this will display the different credits you can change the class to. You can see for this university chorus class its either 0 or 1. So I am going to go ahead and click on 1 credit, because I want the class to be worth 1 credit. Once that is chosen, go ahead and click on find classes and this will bring up a popup box that will ask if you want to save your changes. So, go ahead and click on yes. Now that this save has been successful, go ahead and click on find classes again and this will bring back up your summary. In your summary you can see now that the class is now displaying 1 for hours or how ever many you chose for your class. I hope you have found this useful and thank you for watching.
