Navigate to the Wish List page, Self Service > Enrollment > Wish List.

You can search for classes by clicking or enter a class number and click .If using the Search, make sure you uncheck the ‘Show Open Courses Only’ checkbox so you can see all available sections.

Class Numbers are listed on the printed Classhour Directory and on the website classhour directory next to each course.  If you are adding a lab or conference course, it is easier to use the class number for the lab or conference section – in most cases this will automatically register you for the associated lecture.

If you are using the class search, don’t worry if the course is listed as closed – we add first-year students to courses without regard to enrollment caps and in many courses you will have preference for spaces.  Course descriptions in the Courses of Instruction will list preferences for many of the enrollment limited courses.

Click to add the class to your wish list.

If adding a lab or conference course, you will either see a message that you are automatically enrolled in the lecture or you may be asked to select a related section.

Select a section if needed and click .

On the Enrollment Preferences page, any course prerequisites will be listed under Enrollment Information.  Review these to make sure the course is reasonable for you.  We do not check prerequisites until later in the summer, after we have received any placement test results submitted. 

Click .  (Do not try to change the Grading Basis to Pass/Fail at this point)

Check for Okay to Add  or Potential Problem messages.  If you don’t understand an error message, contact the Registrar’s Office at selfreg@williams.edu.

You may delete courses and add more courses to your Wish List and Validate until you are satisfied with your choices.  The Wish List will close after June 22 and we will load whatever courses are listed here to your class schedule.
