Registration Instructions

Go to Passport – Self-Service – Course Catalog

Find your courses: In the search bar at the top right of the screen, type in the name of the course you want to register for. If you don’t know, you can also choose by subject area and then be sure to use the advanced filters on the left hand side of the screen to narrow your search. Hot tip: Adding start term, Academic level (graduate vs. undergraduate), etc. is very important.

View course details: When you input what you’re looking for, you will get a list of course sections. It shows when and where each section meets, who the instructor is, and what format the course is in, as well as how many remaining seats are still available in the course. Another hot tip: Is the course waitlisted? Don’t despair, scroll down for directions on what to do when a course is waitlisted.

Add the course: When you’ve found the section you want, click the Add Section to Schedule button.

Confirm your choice: When the window pops up, confirm your selection by clicking the Add Section button. You’ve now successfully “planned the course,” and the next step is to officially register.

Return to the main menu to officially register for the course: Click on the Russell Sage College logo on the top left corner of the screen to return to the main screen.

Click on Student Planning.

Navigate to Plan and Schedule: Go to the Plan Your Degree and Register for Classes option, and click on Plan and Schedule. The courses you planned will now show on the lefthand side of the screen next to the calendar.

Officially register: Either click on the Register button under each course on the left, or you can click on the Register now button on the right upper corner of your screen to register for all of the courses you selected at once.

Confirm registration: You’ll know you are registered for the course when the green bar appears above it that says Registered But Not Started.

View course details and find out what books you need: The courses will also appear on the calendar, and you can click on each course on the calendar to view course details. There you will find a Books section, where you can click on the link for the bookstore and you’ll get a listing of the books you need for that course.
