Registering for Classes

To register for classes do the following:
 
If you have ENGL 098 or ENGL 099 listed on your MAP, please see Paired Courses Registration for directions to register.
 
  1. Sign in to Banner with your username and password.
    • If you do not know your log-in information, you can click "forgot my username", "forgot my password", or call the help desk at 517-483-5221.
  2. Click "Register".
  3. Select a term from the dropdown and click "Continue".
  4. On the "Find the Classes" tab, use the search criteria options to browse for your class and select "search". Class sections matching your search criteria will appear.
  5. Find the course(s) you want to register for (For explanations of each column, please see the Column Explanation section of this guide)
    • For a course description and prerequisite information click the course title. Close the Course Details popup to return to your search results.
  6. Once you find a course that works, select the "Add" button under the "Add" column to save the course to your summary.
  7. Notice the course is listed as Pending in your Summary. You may click "Search Again" if you have more courses to add, or click the "Submit" button to complete the registration process.

    Please note, after registering for a course, it may take up to 24 hours before Students with financial aid will see an update to their bill in TouchNet.

     
  8. If you are successfully registered, the courses in your summary will change from gray Pending to a green Registered status when successfully submitted.
    • There are several errors students can receive preventing them from registering for a class. Below are the most common.
      • "Prerequisite and Test Score Error" – This means you do not meet the necessary requirements to get into the class. If you believe this to be an error, contact the Department that holds the class.
      • "Time conflict with CRN... – This indicates that the class is at the same time as another class already in your schedule.
      • "Open - Reserved for Wait List" – Students can be put on a waitlist if a class is full. If you want to be added to the waiting list, you must choose "Wait List" under "Action". You may want to go back and try to find another class that is open. Students will be notified by their LCC e-mail if an opening becomes available and then they have 24 hours to register for the class.
