How to Enroll (with validation)

When you have finished building your class schedule and your Shopping Cart contains all the classes you want to enroll in, you are ready to do a validation. This ensures that when you go to enroll in these classes, you will not encounter any problems.

Some of the things that validation checks are:

  • Is there a seat available in the class?
  • Does the class schedule conflict with another class that you have selected or one that you are already enrolled in?
  • Have you met the requirements for the class?
  • Is there a hold on your account?

If a class does not validate, you can delete it from your Shopping Cart and add another one. You continue this process until all your selected classes validate successfully.


To Enroll with Validation

You can enroll in classes using the Shopping Cart link in the Academics section or your home page.

  1. Click the Shopping Cart link.

  1. Select the applicable Term and Career.
  2. Click   CONTINUE  .

This shows the classes that are already in your Shopping Cart. Your current class schedule is shown at the bottom of this page.

If you want to delete a class from the Shopping Cart, you can click the check-box beside the class to be deleted and then click the delete button.

You can add more classes to the Shopping Cart, by ensuring the Class Search button is selected and then clicking the search button. If you are not familiar with the steps for searching for classes, see the How to Search for Classes job aid.

  1. Click the check-box beside the Classes you want to validate.
  2. Click   validate  .

The selected classes are evaluated and a status for each class displays along with a message describing the status.

Validation is like a "test-drive" for enrollment. You are not actually enrolled in the selected classes at this point.

There are two types of messages that you might receive from validation:


                              Message                                                          Status

  • OK to Add - you can enroll in the class with no problems        √
  • Error – a potential problem has been found that could             √ or X
    stop you from enrolling in a class. If this occurs, you can
    can select another class and try again.
If you have a Hold on your academic record, this needs to be addressed before proceeding with any further enrollment.

The Results Help link will help you interpret some of  the messages that you may encounter during validation.

Once you have finished building your class schedule and all your selected classes validate, you can proceed to enroll in them.

  2. Click   enroll  .

This is where you confirm that you have selected all the right classes for enrollment. To make changes, click the PREVIOUS button at the bottom of the page.

Multi-term Courses

Some courses span multiple terms. For example, POL27A/B is a multi-term course where:

  • Part A – is taught in the first term
  • Part B – is taught in the subsequent term

If you selected a multi-term course, you are enrolled in a class for Part A. You will automatically be enrolled in the class for Part B of the same course in the subsequent term.

Enrollment in the Part B is not done immediately, but will occur prior to the opening of enrollment for the subsequent term.

Click the My Class Schedule button to see the effects of the enrollment on your class schedule.

If you have problems enrolling in a class, contact sservice@ryerson.ca.
