Registering for Courses

Required prior to registering:


eID:

Before registering for classes you must first have obtained your eID (electronic IDentification). If you have not done so, go to the eID website and select “Register for your eID.” You will use this eID to log onto RAMweb and other sites.

Advising:

All students should be advised prior to registering. All new students and many continuing students are assigned advising codes. This 6-digit number is required before registering and is given to you when you are advised. New students should attend orientation and will be advised at that session. To register for Orientation please contact The Center for Advising and Student Achievement (CASA). Continuing students should contact their major department for advising.

Registration Ready:

Before registering for classes, you will need to complete Registration Ready. To do so, log onto RAMweb. You will be asked questions having to do with your anticipated graduation date, whether or not you would like to purchase health insurance through the University, etc. You may also be asked to complete other tasks, if they are applicable to you. Once you have completed all your tasks, you will be able to register.

The Class Schedule:

The Class Schedule can be accessed online by clicking on the "Class Schedule Search" link in RAMweb or through www.classschedule.colostate.edu.

The Class Schedule allows for course searches based upon Course Code, Course Number, CRN, or through more advanced criteria through the "Advanced Search" link.

All sections which fit the parameters selected will be displayed, including course days, times, location, size, instructor, and weather space is still available in the courses.

Information regarding registration deadlines, course days and times, meeting location, and instructor email addresses for courses and sections can be accessed by clicking on the Course Reference Number (CRN) link of the sections as you find them in your Class Search.

Restrictions, including Major and Class Level restrictions, can be accessed by clicking on the Course Reference Number (CRN) link of the sections, and then clicking on the title of the course. You will need to scroll down on the page to the Restrictions section to view the information.

Prerequisites for the course, and a course description can be viewed by clicking on the Course Reference Number (CRN) link of the sections, and then clicking on the "View Catalog Entry" link.

The Class Schedule can also be viewed by going to CSU’s homepage and clicking C from the A-Z listing in the upper right corner, and then clicking on Class Schedule.
