Course and Study List Registration Information

To enroll in courses each quarter, you need to file a study list. Your study list shows the courses in which you are enrolled, the number of units, the instructor, and the grading option. Registering for classes via the SAA Student Portal is a student’s professional responsibility. Your study list is used by the Registrar and Financial Aid Office to track enrollment status by ensuring that every student maintains full-time status each quarter. In addition, courses on your study list populate the course roster that is used by instructors to enter grades at the end of the block/term. If you do not add the right courses to your study list under the right quarter, you may be not have enough units (which can prevent you from receiving financial aid disbursements), and your instructors will be unable to enter your grade. 

The Registrar sends an email to all students announcing the start of study list filing (registration), and deadlines by which students must complete various steps in the registration process. Please see the study list filing deadlines on the Registrar’s website: http://registrar.ucsf.edu/registration/deadlineshome

If you have any questions while you are filing your study list, please contact your MSE Advisor or Xavier Macy for Foundations 1, Nikki Williams for Foundations 2 and Wenia Lee for Career Advising.

Minimum Units Required Each Quarter

Note: If you fall below these units, please contact your MSE Advisor.

Template Courses to Accept During Early Enrollment Period

From the Registrar's Office (see Early Course Enrollment here: http://registrar.ucsf.edu/registration/study-list-filing: Study list filing normally opens 7 weeks prior to the start of the quarter. Students in some programs must enroll in a minimum number of courses or units by a deadline approximately 4 weeks before the quarter begins. Please check the "Summary" tab in the student portal for the enrollment deadlines that apply to you. A $50 late fee applies if you do not meet your minimum enrollment requirement by your deadline. You need to clear your holds before you can complete your minimum enrollment requirements. If you receive financial aid, you will need to meet your minimum enrollment requirement before we will release your financial aid. Special note: For your convenience, you may be pre-enrolled in your required courses. However, you will need to accept these courses before they will be added to your study list. You also will need to add any additional courses (e.g. electives) to your study list.

Note: IDS 113=FS in F2 Day; IDS 117=ARCH; IDS 115=CODA.
