Students
use the course action form to make changes in their schedules that they
cannot make themselves using ISIS. A student cannot use ISIS to add a course
if:
- the course
is restricted in such a way that the student does not meet the restrictions;
- the course
is full;
- permission
of the instructor is required;
- the student
wants to exceed the maximum or drop below the minimum number of credits
allowed;
- the student
has missed the add/drop deadline; or
- the student's
access to ISIS has been suspended or a registration block is in place.
Departments
in the College of Arts and Sciences may not add or drop courses
once the relevant deadlines have passed, nor may they make changes to
a student's record if the student is exceeding the maximum or dropping
below the minimum number of credits allowed. Refer such requests to the
dean's office in Garrett Hall. Departments in the College of Arts and
Sciences should enter changes for students taking courses only within
that department (i.e., a student majoring in drama who wants to add into
an English course which is full or restricted should take a course action
form signed by the English instructor to the English department, not the
drama department.)
If the student
cannot use ISIS because she or he is not properly registered, has had
access suspended, or has a registration block, the problem must be cleared
up before processing a course action form. Students should not use a course
action form to circumvent a registration block on ISIS.
Monitoring
Your Course
You can review your course enrollment in a number of ways. The on-line
course
offerings show the number of students enrolled in your course as of
the last update (updates occur about three times per day). The Instructional
Toolkit shows the number and names of students as of the end of the
previous day. Enrollment figures in real time are available from the CMI
function is ISIS. CMI also indicates if any course restrictions are in
place for the course, which can then be reviewed on the CRT screen (see
Course Restrictions).
A way to
review the actual enrollment of a number of courses without having to
select each one individually on the CMI function—particularly useful
if you want to determine which sections of a course are still open—is
to use the CMR or CSR functions in ISIS. Data on these screens must be
selected by faculty group (e.g., ASF for Arts and Sciences, ENF for Engineering,
etc.).
CMR and CSR
also allows you to restrict your search by entering a department, course
mnemonic, or course number. If all three fields are left blank, you get
a listing of all courses within the faculty group you have entered. If
ENGL is listed in the department field, you get all English courses, but
if ENWR is listed in the course mnemonic field you get a list of only
English writing courses. You can further restrict your search by entering
a specific course mnemonic and number (such as ENWR 110).
Class
Rolls
Class rolls are available through the Instructional Toolkit and the uvai
e-mail service (see instructions on the Course
Information page). The CLR function allows you to view a listing of
all the students enrolled in a particular course.
