Shopping Cart

1. Login to MyBU Student and access the Dashboard.
2. In the left menu, navigate to Enrollment and then Shopping Cart.
   
3. The Shopping Cart page will open.
   1. Shopping Cart – view with no classes added yet:
      
   2. Shopping Cart – view when classes have already been added:
      

If classes have already been added to the Shopping Cart, they will also display on the MyBU Student Dashboard. From the Dashboard, students can navigate to the Shopping Cart page (see Step #3 above) by clicking on either:

• The Go To icon
• One of the class Open buttons, or
• The View 1 More link if there are additional classes to display.
  

Classes can be added to the Shopping Cart from the Class Search or Schedule Builder pages, or directly in the Shopping Cart page. This section will outline adding classes directly within the Cart and the available pre-registration options within the page.

• For adding classes to the cart via these other methods, refer to the Class Search and Schedule Builder resources.

NOTE: The Shopping Cart page will be blank if no classes have been added. If classes have been added, the following steps can also be used to add more courses to the Shopping Cart.

1. To add a class from the Shopping Cart page, ensure the proper Term has been selected, click the Add Class button, and then Add by class number.
   1. Selecting either Class Search or Schedule Builder from the Add Class button will navigate to their respective pages so classes can be added from there.
      
2. Enter the Class Number and click Add.
   

TIP! Only the exact class number can be used to add a class directly. The Class Name and Section Number are not accepted in this window. Refer to the Class Numbers Explained resource for guidance on these numbers.

3. If the addition of the class was successful, a confirmation message will appear in the top right corner of the page that displays the class number.
   

Repeat these steps as many times as necessary to add the desired classes to the Shopping Cart.

Once classes have been added to the Shopping Cart (directly from the Shopping Cart page, or from Class Search or Schedule Builder), there are number of actions available before enrollment opens.

Refer to the following image throughout this section:

• Search: enter criteria to search the classes that are in the cart.
• Schedule: launches a calendar (or list) view of the classes that have been enrolled (or waitlisted) for a particular term.
  • Clicking Schedule on this page will open the Schedule tab in the Dashboard left menu. To return to Shopping Cart, navigate to Enrollment > Shopping Cart.
• Course & Section Number: click on a class row to view additional class details such as Career, Session, Units, Grading Basis, Full Description, Attributes, Instructor, Start & End Dates, Meet Times, Instruction Mode, Room, Campus, Location, Components, Textbooks/Course Materials and Availability.
  • For more information on numbers associated to courses and classes, refer to the Class Numbers Explained resource.
• Class select checkbox: if one or more class checkboxes are selected, the following action buttons become available in the upper right corner of the page:
  • Save Selections: if boxes have been checked for one or multiple classes, click to save those selections for the next time the page is returned to. This does not refer to saving the classes that have been added to the cart; they will remain.

    A success message will appear indicating a successful save:
    

  • Delete: removes the class from the Cart. Click the Confirm button in the pop-up window to finish deleting the selected course(s).
    
    A success message will appear indicating successful deletion:
    
  • Validate: runs the validation check on the class(s) to ensure there are no issues or conflicts at that time (e.g., holds, too many credits, time conflict, etc). This may only be open at certain times of the enrollment period. A Validation results pop-up window will appear indicating successfully added classes with a green box. Click OK to finish adding the validated class:
    

    Example of a validation conflict message. The example shows a time conflict between two courses. For other examples of potential conflict messages, see the Enrollment Messages resource.
    

• Three dots menu: click to view additional actions for a listed section. Actions that will display before enrollment period has opened:
  • Edit: this is currently not being used.
  • View Deadlines: in addition to class details, the Academic Calendar Deadlines such as drop, cancel, and withdrawal dates will display.
    
  • View course materials: opens an external link to the BU Campus Store and displays information about required course materials, if available.

When the appropriate enrollment period has opened, classes may be enrolled directly from the Shopping Cart.

TIP! Keep in mind that it’s possible for new conflicts to arise between the time that the validation process is run in the Shopping Cart and class registration. Be prepared for the additional validation that will always occur at the time of registration.

If the assigned enrollment period has opened, registration can occur from the Shopping Cart page.

1. Navigate to the Shopping Cart page from either:
   1. the Dashboard left menu: Enrollment > Shopping Cart.
   2. the Shopping Cart section of the Dashboard. See the “Start Shopping Cart” section above for complete navigation steps.
2. Once the desired class has been identified in the page, there are two ways to register:
   1. Click the three dots to access the Actions menu, then select Enroll.
   2. Check one or more class selection check boxes, then click the Enroll button that activates in the top right corner of the page. This option allows for registration in multiple classes at once.
      
3. Review the Agreement pop-up and click Enroll when ready to enroll in the selected course(s).
   
4. An Enrollment Results message will display.
   1. If there are conflicts or issues, that Error information will be listed with the relevant class.
      

      The Error example above illustrates a hold on a student’s record that must be removed before enrollment can occur. For other examples of potential conflicts and messages that could be encountered, see the Enrollment Messages resource.

   2. If enrollment was a success, the class will be listed with a message indicating it has been Added to Your Schedule.
      
5. Click OK to exit the Enrollment Results window.

NOTE: If the validation process was run previously in the planning phase of using Shopping Cart or Schedule Builder, keep in mind that it is possible for new conflicts to arise between that time and class registration. An additional validation always occurs at the time of registration.
