Add Codes
An add code is an alpha numeric code that will allow you to register for a course once it has started.
Add codes are issued by instructors and only become active when the course starts.
Prior to the 1st class meeting, students on the waitlist receive priority. Once the course starts, students with add codes receive priority.
To request an add code, please contact the course instructor by email. When contacting the instructor, please be sure to include your name, ID number and course CRN#.
Add codes are alpha numeric. Students are encouraged to copy/paste the number into their registration portal.
If you are experiencing difficulty using an add code, try testing combinations where the letter 鈥淥鈥 can be used in place of the number 鈥渮ero鈥 or the letter 鈥淚鈥 can be used in place of the number 鈥1.鈥
If you need additional assistance, please contact an advisor via email.
