Important: This is the last step in DARS Schedules, but you are not registered for classes. See Enroll in classes for the next steps in the process.
Caution: In some cases, after pushing your classes to the Student Center Shopping cart, the weekly/hourly view in DARS Schedules may no longer display all lab/lecture/activity components properly and in some cases the auto-generate feature may no longer recognize time conflicts.
After pushing your schedule to Student Center, if the schedule included any lab/activity/discussion sections, we recommend any additional edits to your schedule be completed within Student Center using the class search feature to avoid confusion. Contact the Office of the Registrar if you have any questions at records@humboldt.edu
