How to Register for Classes

A delivery method communicates where and how students will be taught. Some delivery methods are only available to specific student types. Learn more about the Course Delivery Methods that are available.

1. Sign into www.byui.edu
   
2. Click on Registration at the top right of the screen
   

   

3. If in the “Old myBYUI” click on the STUDENT tab
   

   

4. Scroll down until you see the “Add/Drop Courses” and click on it. Make sure the “Term” is the correct semester you’re wanting to add classes for.
   

   

5. After you click on “Add/Drop Courses”, scroll down until you see “Course Search”. It should look like this:
   

   

6. Search by Course Code
   There are multiple ways to search for courses. The most effective way to search for specific courses is by the “Course Code”. In this example, we will be searching the course “Career Exploration”, which has the course code “GS100”. You can find the course code by searching the name in the Academic Catalog. The “Class Type” and “Subject” should be set to All, and the “Course Title” should be left blank.
   

   

7. Adjusting Search Criteria
   You can change the class type to be either online or day. You can also choose search by general subject or course title. To see only courses with open seats you can choose to exclude waitlisted courses. “Advanced Search”
   
8. Select Search and See Results

1. When you find a course you want to register for, click on the square under the left  “Add” column, for the class you would like to add, and then scroll to the bottom and hit “Add Courses”.
   

   

2. If the course is added successfully, you should see a yellow banner appear, which indicates the course has been added successfully.
   

   

1. To drop a course go back to the “Add/Drop Courses”. Scroll down to Your Schedule (Registered). Select the left column “Drop” box, scroll down, and click “Drop Selected Courses”. 

   DO NOT PRESS “Drop All Courses”, as this will drop all your courses (unless you would intentionally like to drop all of your courses). In this example, we’ll be dropping the GS100-21 class that was added previously.

   

2. After clicking the “Drop Selected Courses” you should see a yellow banner that lists the class and says “Successfully Dropped”. ALWAYS refresh your page and go back to “Your Schedule (Registered)” to verify you are no longer registered for the course.
   

   

3. If you are dropping your only course in a block or a semester it will bring you to a new page with 3 different options. Before dropping your last course verify that your financial aid, student status, or graduation will not be affected. Select “Return to Add/Drop” if you do not wish to drop the course.

   If you are registered in other full semester or other block courses, you can select “Drop Courses Only.” It will only drop the course that you selected and will not withdraw you from the university.

5. Important Waitlisting Information:
   Waitlist authorizations are an automated process. They are sent out 24 hours a day and all 7 days of the week. The authorization to add the course is only valid for 24 hours and then your spot will go to the next person on the waitlist.

   If you are removed from the waitlist, then you will need to re-add yourself to the end of the waitlist again. Make sure to check your BYU-Idaho email frequently to not miss the 24-hour window. Registration cannot resend your authorization or put you back at the top of the waitlist.

   You are able to waitlist for up to 12 credits. You cannot waitlist for classes that you’re already registered for. If you register for a class that you’re waitlisted in, it will kick you off that waitlist.
