Course Request Instructions Class registration is accomplished in two phases: Phase 1: Course Request – October 18-25, 2016 – During Course Request you use the Timetable of Classes to select your course CRN’s, Times, Days, etc. After selecting the CRN’s, you will use Hokie Spa, Class Registration, and the Course Request link to formally request the specific CRN’s you wish to enroll in. – Please note, courses are not automatically awarded during this phase and you are not guaranteed to get all of the courses or the specific times requested. This phase is designed to ensure the departments are planning to offer enough seats in courses to accommodate the demand. Phase 2: Drop/Add – November 26, 2016 - January 23, 2017 – Drop/add is your opportunity to finalize your class schedule, this is a live system in which you will build on the courses you received as a result of completing course request and ultimately finalize your fall class schedule. This process will be completed on Hokie Spa, Registration and Schedule, then Drop/Add beside of Spring 2017 (Add courses).

Use the Timetable of Classes to develop a proposed class schedule. Verify required pre-requisites, co-requisites, and/or major restrictions by clicking on the CRN for the Comments and Restrictions on the Timetable of Classes. • It is your responsibility to meet all pre-requisites and co-requisites. Locate the Course Request link in Hokie Spa under Registration and Schedule for the spring 2017 semester. Submit the CRNs for specific sections of each course you are requesting. Verify the class dates and times on your course request submission • Make sure the days and times do not conflict. • Plan to have at least 15 minutes between courses to allow yourself adequate travel time Course Request opens open at 12:01 am on October 18 and closes at 11:59 pm on October 25. Course Request is not first come, first serve  there is no benefit to completing your course request early during the request period. No actual scheduling is done until after Course Request is closed. If you have any holds on your record, you will not be able to request courses. Check this now and take immediate steps to clear all holds. There can be multiple sections of a class; some sections might be restricted while others are not. If a class you want is restricted check other CRN’s to see if any other sections are not restricted.
