To add a course, visit the Course Catalog tab, then search the subject you are looking for. Once you find your choice, select a section and click on ‘Add Section to Plan’. From there, click the Home icon in the left-menu. Now click on the Student Planning tab. You will see the course and section you’ve added to your plan with a status of Planned. You are not yet registered for this course- to complete this task, click the ‘Register’ button for that individual course; or add a few to your plan and register for them all at once, by clicking ‘Register Now’ button above the schedule you’re planning.

To drop a course, visit the Student Planning tab. On the left of your screen, next to your schedule, you will see a list of the courses you are registered in. They will have a green check mark and a status of Registered. Below the class information for this course, you will see a large ‘Drop’ button. Once you click that button, you will be asked to confirm your decision. You can then visit the Student Planning tab again to see that this course was removed from your schedule.

If your course doesn’t have a meeting time listed, it means that there will not be regularly scheduled live classes or meetings for this course. You will be able to work around your schedule and complete the course material on your own time as long as you meet any assigned deadlines.

These courses are called “asynchronous,” which means “not existing or happening at the same time.”

Click on “Student Planning” and then “Plan your degree and register for classes.” Next, click on “Go to plan and schedule” and make sure you’re looking at the correct term.

When you’re looking at your schedule, you will see a course list on the side. The courses you have successfully registered for will have a green bar with the phrase “Registered but not yet started.” That means you’re all set! 

Click on “Student Planning” and then “Plan your degree and register for classes.” Next, click on “Go to plan and schedule” and make sure you’re looking at the correct term. Your courses will be listed next to your schedule with a status bar indicating whether you’re registered or waitlisted. If a course is waitlisted, you will see a yellow status bar. 
 

If a spot becomes available, you will be contacted and asked to confirm your spot within 24 hours. You are welcome to register for an additional course in case you do not receive a seat in the waitlisted course, however it will be your responsibility to drop that course if you are admitted into the other. If you want to remove yourself from the waitlist, you can do so by clicking “Drop Waitlist.”  

No. Unless you click Register, then your course choices remain on your academic plan, as a guide for your degree. 
An academic plan helps you visualize your degree for the next few years, but unless the course in your plan becomes available during registration [View Available Sections button bar appears] then the course is not available in the current term. 
You can leave it on your academic plan in case it does become available for registration in a future term. 

The academic plan helps you visualize and plan your degree for the next few years. But, when you add courses to your plan, they are not added to your schedule. 
Instead: 
When searching for available courses in the current term, use the filter to view open courses. Once you do that, every course that appears should have the View Available Sections bar to click on. Click on this bar and you will see sections with a Add Section to Schedule button.

General Student Loan information is not currently available in your Compass Student Account.

No, the Compass Student System is unable to post various payment deadlines so the Student Statement is reporting all balances due on September 30th. The payment deadline for fall term fees is September 30, 2020. The payment deadline for winter term fees is January 30, 2021. If you look at the Account Activity view you can see the total due for each semester.

Make a payment here.
