Banner XE Registration Overview and Features
The latest version of our registration system includes several exciting new features, as well as an improved and intuitive user experience.
Prepare for Registration
Prior to registration, access the Prepare for Registration link to check your registration status as well as other important registration information, including holds, special permissions, and registration times.
Plan Ahead
One of the most exciting features of XE Registration is the Plan Ahead functionality. You can use this feature to create up to five registration plans prior to registration. Then when it’s time for you to register, you simply submit your first choice plan and the system will determine which classes are available. There is no need to enter individual CRNs at time of registration if you PLAN AHEAD!
To Create a Plan:
- Click
- Select classes. You can use % as a wildcard when searching or you can enter a specific course number. Bubble help guides will assist you on certain fields. Be sure to always include a leading zero when entering a course number (e.g. AC 0203 or RS 0101C).
You can add courses to your plan or individual CRNs (recommended). Click on
in your search results to add them to your plan! Note: You can add a closed/full section to your plan.
- After you’ve added a course, click
and give your plan a name. You can then search for other courses to add to your plan!
Register for Classes
You can access Register for Classes when your assigned time ticket allows. To check your time ticket, use the Prepare for Registration link described above.
You can register for classes using any combination of the following options:
- Using the Find Classes search tool
- Enter CRNs
- Plans created in Plan Ahead are accessible for registration! Simply click
and you’ll immediately see the courses listed in the Summary panel and in your class schedule as Pending.
You can also see your Class Schedule on the registration screen. It will display your chosen classes in grey before you are registered for them. This is a great way to help you visualize your possible schedule before you submit it!
Another helpful new feature is the Conditional Add and Drop checkbox. Only want to drop a class if you can register for another? Check this box at the bottom right of the screen and the system will only add/drop for you if there are no issues; if there is a conflict it will not drop the course(s) for which you are already registered!
Click 
and you will be notified in the upper right hand corner of the screen if a course is unavailable to you. You are required to act on that notification.
Schedule and Options Tab
This tab gives you a customizable view of your schedule and allows you to print or export your schedule as a downloadable .ics file for use with your calendar software. Also on this screen, you can modify the number of credits for certain courses.
Payment Options
There is a link at the bottom left of the registration screen to Select Payment Method. Click on this link once you have selected all of your courses for the term. Note: Full time undergraduates will only see this link during winter and summer intersessions. Full time undergraduates will be billed for fall and spring term tuition and fees.
View Registration Information
Once you have registered, this link provides a detailed look at your schedule. You can click on the course title for course information. The schedule can also be printed or exported as a downloadable .ics file for use with your calendar software. The Schedule Details tab shows the instructors and locations of your classes. You can also view your schedules for past semesters.
Browse Classes
Use this search to find specific sections of classes offered in a term.
Enter Subject and a course number (with leading zero, e.g. HI 0010 or AC 0203) or use the % wildcard.
Clicking on the course title displays important information about the section, including course attributes, restrictions, prerequisites, fees, and a link to the bookstore to view or purchase required textbooks.
Browse Course Catalog
This view is similar to Browse Classes, but it shows overall course information rather than being section-specific. You can, however, view sections here as well. Locating a course is the same as with Browse Classes and here you can also click on the course title to find out detailed class information.
