Registration home page

  • This page is divided into rows of course categories.
  • Required categories have red exclamation marks.
  • Click on the (tiny) pencil icon on the right side of the row to view the list of individual courses for that category.

Enter your course requests by category

  • Click the pencil icon and you will see the list of available courses for that category.
  • Scroll to the bottom of each list; there may be more than one page of courses available.
  • To select a course, click anywhere in that row; it will turn blue when selected.
  • If you change your mind, simply click the row again to unselect it and click on the course you wish to select instead.
  • When finished, click “okay” at the bottom right of the screen to submit your course request(s).

Select courses for each category

  • When you click “okay” to submit your course request for a category, you will be returned to your registration home page.
  • The course you selected will now appear in that category’s row and the red exclamation mark (for required categories only) will have turned green.

  • Continue doing the same for all the categories as appropriate for your grade level and graduation requirements.

Primary Electives

  • First, determine how many electives you’ll need to fill your schedule.
    • Remember that LA, Math, World Language, Science are year long, while World History I is semester long. Depending on what courses you request, you will have some periods available for your Primary electives and will need to submit enough Primary elective request to fill your schedule.
  • Follow the same steps for selecting Primary electives as you did for your core classes. Note: Year-long and semester Primary electives are divided into separate categories on the Registration home page.

Alternate Electives

  • You must select 4 semester or 2 year-long Alternate electives.
  • Why? The courses that you requested as your Primary electives might be full or might not fit your schedule.
  • NOTE: If you do not provide Alternate electives and there is a hole in your schedule, your Counselor will select a course for you at his/her discretion. (You really don’t want that to happen!)
  • Do not select a course as an alternate that you have already requested as a Primary elective! (It will not help you get that course and will cause an error, messing up your schedule!)

Things to remember!

  • Always click okay” at the bottom right corner of the course lists to save/submit your request(s).
  • Can you rank your alternate requests in priority order? Unfortunately, the software doesn’t allow you to tell us what priority to use for your Alternate electives.
  • Got an error message? Double check what you’ve selected to make sure you’ve got the correct number of courses. Too many or not enough will give you an error.

Ready to finalize your course requests?

  • Have you selected all your course, including your Primary, and Alternate electives?
  • Click “submit” on the bottom right corner of your registration home page.
  • Take a screen shot (or a picture on your smart phone) of the confirmation page that pops up after you submit your requests. Once we close online registration you will not be able to see what you selected.
  • Next, we’ll take all the requests and build Roosevelt’s Master Schedule. From there, we will create all the student schedules.
  • You will get your schedule right before school starts in September.
  • Registration for current SPS 8th graders should be completed via the student’s Source account by April 26th. After that date, note your requests on the Course Option Sheet and send /drop off at Roosevelt.
