Logging In to CU Web for Students

In order to register for courses online, you must log in to CU Web.

1.
Launch your web browser (please note that the AOL browser sometimes has difficulty with login popup windows. Please use Internet Explorer or another non-AOL browser for registration).

 

2.  Browse to http://www.clarku.edu/CU Web to log in to CU Web or go to www.clarku.edu/intranet. Links to CU Web are also available from the First Year Seminar Registration box on the Registrar's Office webpage.

 

3.  Log in to CU Web using your ClarkNet username and password. Click Login.

 

 

4.  Click Continue to CU Web.


Begin Registration

1.
Click Student Record, Student Account and Financial Aid.
2. Select Registration.
3. Select Add/Drop Classes. Make sure term is Fall 2008. Click Submit. NOTE: This screen (and related screens) will become "active" when your registration time ticket kicks in.

Add/Drop Classes

When registering for the first time, a blank registration form will appear.  After that, when adding/dropping classes, you will see your Current Schedule on top and the Add Classes area below.

1.

In the Add Classes table, enter the CRN number for your chosen seminar (and lab or discussion section if required). Use a separate box for each CRN.  Click Submit Changes after you have made your entry.

2. In this example two CRNs have been entered.
3. The first CRN (31031) was successfully entered and you see it listed here in the Current Schedule section with "Web Registered" and the date in the Status column.  The second CRN (30010) caused a Registration Error.  You will see errors listed below the Current Schedule section under "Registration Errors".

 

This error, a LINK ERROR, is caused by not registering for the required corresponding lab or discussion for a particular course.  Go back to the Add/Drop classes section and enter the CRN for the course again along with the CRN for the required lab or discussion.  For information on other errors, see the Common Errors section of these instructions.
 

4. If you change your mind and wish to register for a different seminar, be sure to check the schedule first and see if there is a space available. From your Current Schedule, click on the drop-down arrow in the Action field next to the course you want to drop and select Drop Course on Web. Click Submit Changes. In the Add Classes table, enter the CRN number for the new course and click Submit Changes.

Common Errors

Classes for which you have NOT been successfully registered will appear under the Registration Errors section as seen in  Add/Drop Classes.  You must scroll to the right to view the Status column of that table to determine the reason for the error.

Some of the most common errors are listed here:
