“My Cart” Registration System Feature
Available one week prior to web registration

The "My Cart" feature allows you to enter the web registration system and pre-select courses for which you might have interest. "My Cart" will be available one week prior to web registration. You may find it easier to sort your courses by using the "My Cart" feature. It will also allow you to register directly for a course in your cart when the appropriate registration window has opened.

Adding a course to your cart is not considered an enrollment transaction. You must officially register for this course by using the enroll button.

To place a course in your cart, use the top navigation bar and click "Search for Classes" to display the current course schedule (you can view the entire schedule or filter based on specific criteria).

Once your results are displayed, Use the Add to Cart button to add the course to your cart. To view the courses in your cart, click on "My Cart" on the top navigation bar.

 

You may register from "My Cart" when your registration window (as defined by the registration calendar) has opened. You must click the "Enroll" button next to the course(s) in your cart that you wish to register for in order for your enrollment transaction to be processed. Simply adding a course to your cart is not considered an enrollment transaction.

 

Registration Instructions
For August 11-16

Before registering for class(es), check the current Course Catalog to be sure you have the prerequisites. All courses will be checked by the Student Services System and the Registrar to see that prerequisites have been satisfied. (Note: Courses are either 1 unit of credit or ½ unit of credit.)

PLEASE NOTE: If you did not take classes during the spring or summer quarter, you must attempt to access the web registration system (with your netID and password) prior to your enrollment period. If you are unable to access the system, please contact Allyson Grey at (312) 503-6635.

ALSO NOTE: If you have a HOLD on your student record, you will need to contact Student Accounts at (312) 503-8503. You will need to clear your record with Student Accounts before you can register. To ensure that you are able to web register, your hold MUST BE REMOVED BEFORE Wednesday, August 6th.

If you have any questions regarding your registration, please call Sarah Francis at (312) 503-8385. If you have any technical problems regarding registration, please contact ptmba-registrar@kellogg.northwestern.edu.

  • Click on the "Enter the Course Registration System" link located on the top of this page. You should read the information regarding computer specifications and firewalls.
  • Click the Sign In button. You will be prompted to enter your Netid and Password. Please enter this information and press Enter (or click on OK).

    NOTE: If you do not have this information, you will NOT be able to register. You may obtain a temporary password through Allyson Grey. She may be reached at (312) 503-6635.

  • You should now be in the web registration system and at the Message of the Day screen. The Registrar will post important registration related messages here. You may also see older messages by using the Messages Archive link.
  • To add a class, you will need to select a course from the "My Cart" screen (if you have already populated your cart) or you must go to the "Search for Classes" screen (select from "view entire schedule" or provide specific search filters). If you have pre-selected courses by using the “my cart” feature, you can go directly to “my cart” to enroll in your pre-selected courses.
  • To enroll in a class, click the Enroll button at the end of the row and in the right hand column. A confirmation screen will confirm or reject your enrollment. If you are registering for a second class, follow the same procedure described above.
  • To verify your enrollments (or waitlist status if the course was full), select "My Classes" from the top navigation bar. The screen is divided into two parts, an Enrollments area and a Waitlist area. Classes for which you are registered will appear in the Enrollments area. Classes for which you have waitlisted will appear in the Waitlist area. If you have been waitlisted for a course, it is strongly recommended that you utilize the auto-drop feature. This feature allows you to designate which course you would like the system to automatically drop you from should you get promoted off the waitlist. If you do not use the auto-drop feature for waitlisted courses and you are (1) enrolled in two courses and (2) get promoted off the waitlist, you will be skipped over for a place in the course because the system will not allow you to register for three courses.
  • To drop a class, simply click the Drop button and confirm your intention to drop on the screen to follow.
  • If you are adding yourself to any class waitlists, you need to read the Wait List Overview or read the FAQs.

Please Note:  If you are adding yourself to any waitlists, you can only be enrolled in 2 classes.  Therefore, if you are enrolled in 2 classes and wish to be on the waitlists for 2 other classes, you will need to select the actual enrolled classes to be dropped automatically.  You can auto drop by using the Auto Drop function and by selecting the courses to be dropped if your the waitlisted class(es) becomes available.  The final step of the waitlist feature is to Submit your waitlist request. If you do not select the SUBMIT key before leaving the waitlist screen, your waitlist request will be passed over should a space become available in the classes you have waitlisted.

Note: After August 16 (the end of web registration), you will not be able to view your waitlist status on the web. It is handled manually in the Part-Time MBA Program office.

  • During the Web Registration Drop/Add Period (August 11 - 16) you may also DROP courses via the web. To do so, simply click on the My Classes screen where you will be able to view all courses for which you have registered. Use the Drop button to the left of your web registered course to drop a class. However, following the end of Web Registration (August 16), you will need to complete all dropping and adding of courses by filling out a drop/add form available on the 2nd Floor Mezzanine of 340 East Superior Street. There will be a $10.00 fee for dropping and/or adding a course beginning August 25th..
  • When you are finished registering for class(es) on the Web, be sure to EXIT Internet Explorer. Unless you exit the system, your registration information will remain available to the next person to use your computer.
Please note:  After August 16th (the end of web registration) you will not be able to view your waitlist status on the web.  It is handled manually in the Part-Time MBA Program office.
