Look at Weekly Planner
Confirm your student level
then click ‘Submit.’
Using the down arrow,
choose the term.
There are three ways to add a class:
• By section ID number
• By the subject code and course number
• Search by the Schedule of Classes
Here the section ID for BILD 1 from the Class
Planner is entered.
Confirm the grading option you
want then click Add.
BILD 1 has been added to
your class list.
A search for ECON 1 will
display the Schedule of
Classes for just that class:
In this example, you enroll by selecting the course
code next to the DIscussion section. You must
attend the specific discussion as well as the
LEcture time. WebReg will automatically add the
lecture to your Class List.
Every WebReg request will prompt you
to confirm the action you are taking.
Make sure to click ‘Add’ to complete the
transaction.
After adding the classes you need, go to the
Weekly Planner to check for any conflicts. In
this case you see a conflict with BILD 1 and
ETHN 20.
To clear the conflict,
drop ETHN 20
Confirm that this is the section
you intend to drop. Click ‘Drop’
to complete the action.
This message confirms the
section was dropped. It no longer
displays under ‘Enrolled Classes.’
You can search by the
Schedule of Classes to
find another class to add.
Select the term, the subject, and
the course range.
Then click ‘search’ to see the
results.
If a class if full, you will see how many are currently on the
wait list. To make sure you can add the class, select a section
with open seats. If you do select a full class, WebReg will
prompt you on how to add yourself to the wait list.
The program will display courses that do have seat
available. If you choose to wait list, confirm the grading
option.
NOTE: Wait lists are automated and are filled on a firstcome, first-served basis. They are NOT a guarantee you
have a space in the class.
Wait listed classes are listed
below the Add a Class section.
Another tool is the ‘Change’ button. This
works the same as the Add or Drop
function. Let’s change the grading option
for ECON 1 to Pass / No Pass.
While many classes allow you to choose your grading option, you must take
major, minor, and core curriculum courses for a LETTER grade. Check the
UCSD catalog or your college website for more information.
Just click the desired radio
button and confirm by clicking
‘Change.’
Your grading option displays on
WebReg and your Class List.
Some classes have test or course prerequisites that you need to enroll. Below is the
message that displays when attempting to enroll in CSE 20 without the prerequisites.
Courses may also have restrictions for college, major, or class level. If you aren’t
eligible for the class, the error message will describe the restriction and steps to take.

WebReg Glossary
Wait-list for a Full Class – When classes are full, you may wait-list via WebReg. The wait list does NOT
guarantee you a space in the class. You may wait-list ONLY ONE section of a course. Wait lists are
automated and are filled on a first-come, first-served basis. If you are added to the class, you will receive
an e-mail to your UCSD e-mail account
NEW FRESHMEN: If you have any questions about wait-listing, please check with your college
advising office.
Drop a Class – You may drop classes through Friday of 4th week without a ‘W’ (withdrew) and through
Friday of 9th week with a ‘W’ on your record. You may only receive one “W” per course.
Grading Option – In many classes, you can choose a grading option (letter or pass/ no pass). You may take
up to 25% of your undergraduate UCSD units as pass/ no pass. Most majors require a letter grade in all
course work. You must make grading option changes by Friday of 4th week.
Change Credits for Variable Credit Course – You may change the number of units for variable unit courses
by Friday of 4th week.
Class Types –
* Lecture (LE)
* Lab (LA)
* 4th Hour Lecture (LE)
