1. In the left Menu, go to Enrollment > Add Classes. The Select classes to add page will open. Alternately, on your Student Center SPIRE Home page, select Enrollment: Add Classes from the other academic... drop-down list.
2. On the Select classes to add page:
   • Make sure the page displays the correct term.
   • In the Enter Class Nbr field, enter the Class Number for the lecture section of the class you wish to add, then click enter. The Select classes to add - Related Class Sections page will open.
     Note: The Class Number is a 5-digit identifier for a class. All components of a class (e.g., lectures, discussions, etc.) have their own Class Numbers. Class Numbers change from one semester to the next, even for the same class.

   • Under the Find Classes heading, click search. See our guides on searching for classes. When searching for classes, to find out if a class has a lecture and required labs or discussions, on the Class Detail page, look under the Components heading. When you find a class you want, click select. The Select classes to add - Related Class sections page will open.
3. On the Select classes to add - Related Class Sections page:
   • In the lower right corner of the class section table, click View All Sections to see all the available discussions/labs for this class. By default, SPIRE only displays the first five.
   • Select the radio button next to the discussion/lab you wish to add (make sure this section is open and fits into your schedule).
   • Click Next. The Enrollment Preferences page will open.
4. On the Enrollment Preferences page:
   • If one of the classes is closed, a SPIRE waitlist is available, and you wish to add yourself to this waitlist, click the Wait List check box.
   • Leave the Permission Nbr field blank unless you were given a permission number to use for the specific class. Most classes do not require a permission number.
   • If you wish to be graded differently for this class, from the Grading drop-down list, select a different grading basis (e.g., Elective Pass/Fail Grading).
   • (Variable-credit classes only) From the Units drop-down list, select the number of credits you wish to take for this class (up to 6).
   • (some Independent study classes only) If available, from the Instructor drop-down list, select a different instructor. Instructors' names are listed alphabetically.
   • Click Next. You will return to the Select classes to add page.
5. Back on the Select classes to add page, the classes you just selected appear in your Shopping Cart (mid-page). To register for and enroll in the classes so that they appear in your class schedule, click Proceed to Step 2 of 3. The Confirm classes page opens.
   

1. On the Confirm classes page, review the class(es) you selected and have in your Shopping Cart, then click Finish Enrolling. The View results page will open. Note: You have not registered for nor are you enrolled in a class until you click Finish Enrolling. Having a class in your Shopping Cart does not hold you a seat in the class so make sure to finish enrolling as soon as possible for classes that might close quickly.

1. On the View results page, review the status of your add request:
   • A green check mark () indicates that you successfully added the class to your schedule.
   • A red x () indicates an error. Carefully read the message associated with this error, and click Fix Errors if this is an error that you can fix yourself (e.g., a time conflict that you could resolve by dropping another class, etc.). You will return to the Select classes to add page. If this is an error that you cannot fix, contact the academic department that offers this class or the Registrar's Office (213 Whitmore, 413.545.0555) for more information.
     Note: You must delete any 'unfixable' classes from your Shopping Cart. Otherwise, SPIRE will try to re-add them when you click Proceed to Step 2 of 3 next, and you will get an error every time.
   Click My Class Schedule to view your new class schedule. Your new class schedule will include any of the classes you successfully added.
