What is the difference between dropping and swapping?
DROPPING is used when you no longer want the course. Once you drop it, you are deleted from the course, and there is no guarantee that there will be a seat available if you try to re-enroll. SWAPPING is used when you want to add yourself to a waitlist for a course in which you are already registered or when you have already registered for another course during the time slot you are trying to move into.
Should I use the swap function when adding myself to a wiatlist?
If you registered in another section of the class or are registered in anothr course at the time slot you are trying to move into, YES use the swap function! Here is a tutorial on how to set up a swap.
Activate the swap tab first,and then put yourself on the waitlist. FYI: you cannot be on more than three waitlists at any time. If you do not use the swap function before adding yourself to the waitlist, you will never move up the waitlist and get into the class.
How do I add a lecture with a discussion to my shopping cart?
Some courses require both a lecture and discussion section. They are paired in CaneLink. If a lecture is accompanied by several different discussion sections, select one discussion section that is at a different time than your lecture. Both will appear in your shopping cart.
Does having a class in my shopping cart guarantee a spot in a class?
No, it does not. Once a class is in your shopping cart, and there are open seats, and you are eligible for the course (i.e. have the prerequisites and meet any other restrictions), YOU must still complete the enrollment process by clicking ENROLL.
