If the groups you need aren't already created, right-click and select Add Row.
Enter the Group Code and Description.
Click the Save icon on the main toolbar.

Select the Available as a Public Registration Course checkbox if the course is to be available for registration by individuals who have not gone through a formal matriculation process. If you do not select this checkbox, the Public Registration icon will not appear with courses for guest logins.
Select the Requires Course Authorization for Registration checkbox if the course is one for which you want to restrict registration to the students who get a Course Authorization from the instructor of the course. When the instructor gives a Capacity authorization to the student, the Add checkbox becomes available to that logged-in student.

For courses with the Requires Course Authorization for Registration checkbox selected, the Registration Office personnel can register students in the Student Registration window in J1 Desktop if the user has permissions to Override Course Authorization Required for Registration Errors on the CRM Module Permissions tab of the Registration Permissions window.
If you want the following dates for the course to be different than the dates set for the Term or Subterm, enter the dates as described below:

  2. Group: Students in a selected Web Registration Group can register only for courses for which this same setting is selected. For example, if you are using Public Registration and have a Web Registration Group for non-matriculated students, then they can be restricted to registering only for the courses flagged for Public Registration.

3. To remove a group, choose a group in the Selected Web Registration Groups group box and click the Remove button, which moves it to the Restrict Course Registration by Web Group group box.

Click the Configuration Table tab.
Select the Use automatic Drop for expired Reserved Courses checkbox if Must Pay courses or courses not approved by the student's advisor will be dropped automatically by the system. If you do not select this checkbox, these courses will not be automatically dropped. If you choose to use this option, set the following parameters:
1. Enter (in minutes) how often the system is to check for expirations.
2. Select the For Courses Requiring Payment checkbox if Must Pay courses will be dropped automatically by the system and enter (in hours) how long a Must Pay course can remain in reserved status.
3. Select the For Courses Requiring Advisor Approval checkbox if courses not approved by the student's advisor will be dropped automatically by the system and enter (in hours) how long a course requiring Advisor Approval can remain in reserved status.
4. Select the E-mail Student of impending Drop of Reserved Course? checkbox if you want the system to automatically send an email warning to the student before the course is automatically dropped and enter (in hours) how long before the course is dropped you want the email message to be sent.
In the Display of Crosslisted Courses drop-down list, choose the default value for how you want crosslisted courses to display. The default you select here may be changed in the Courses window.
The options in the Course Title to Display in the CRMs drop-down list allows users of the campus portal to determine what course title appears in the campus portal. You can include column names (CRS_TITLE, CRS_TITLE_2) and format strings (any alphanumeric characters, such as space, empty string, dash, comma, etc.). If you have more than one column name, you must include a format string before each additional column name, even if it is a blank string (identified by two commas). Following are examples of what the column name/format string displays:
- CRS_TITLE: Only displays the text from the CRS_TITLE column
- CRS_TITLE_2: Only displays the text from the CRS_TITLE_2 column
- SHORT_CRS_TITLE_1: Only displays the text from SHORT_CRS_TITLE_1
- CRS_TITLE,,CRS_TITLE_2: Displays CRS_TITLE and CRS_TITLE_2 without any characters between; because you did not put any characters between the commas, it is an empty format string
- CRS_TITLE, (,SHORT_TITLE_1,): Displays CRS_TITLE with SHORT_TITLE_1 in parenthesis; if your CRS_TITLE was 'Beginning Accounting I' and your SHORT_TITLE_1 was 'for non-accounting majors' this would display as "Beginning Accounting I (for non-accounting majors)"
Select the For Course Search in CRM Student Search for Course Title checkbox if you want the Course Search to search on Course Titles. If both this checkbox and the Search for Short Title checkbox are selected, Course Search will search on both Course Titles and Short Titles.
Select the For Course Search in CRM Student Search for Short Title checkbox if you want Course Search in the Add/Drop Courses feature of CRM Students to search on Short Titles. If both this checkbox and the Search for Course Title checkbox are selected, Course Search will search on both Course Titles and Short Titles.
Select the For Course Details Note, Display Section Master Note checkbox if you want the Section Master Note to display on Course Details. If both this checkbox and the Display Section Schedules Comment checkbox are selected, both the Section Master Note and Section Schedules Comment will appear, separated by a dash.
Select the For Course Details Note, Display Section Schedules Comment checkbox you want the Section Schedules Comment to display on Course Details. If both this checkbox and the Display Section Master Note checkbox are selected, both the Section Master Note and Section Schedules Comment will appear, separated by a dash.
Select the Use Course Authorization checkbox if you want to use the Course Authorization feature or if you want Advisors during the Advisor Approval process to be able to override Course Full, Requisite, or Schedule Conflict registration errors.

When a user attempts to register a student in J1 Desktop who requires Advisor Registration Clearance, J1 Desktop displays a registration error. The settings below allow you to control which groups of users may override the following web registration restrictions.

Open the Registration Permissions window.
Click the CRM Module Permissions tab. Example

	The Student Registration feature is intended to replace the Add/Drop Courses feature. The Student Registration feature encompasses the elements of the Add/Drop feature, but it is greatly enhanced so that students are guided to register for courses that fit their academic plan or degree audit.
	The Add/Drop Courses feature is also called the Course Schedules feature in some places, such as the Global Portlet Operations page.

	This form is used when new users request a login in order to register for a Public Registration course. You must create your Public Registration form in Form Builder before you can select it from the drop-down list. Prior to turning on Public Registration in the Add/Drop Courses or Student Registration feature, you must add the Public Registration feature to a page and use the feature to define the form.
	This setting affects the feature only on the Add/Drop page and Student Registration page.
	After the user completes the form, the New Account Messaging feature sends login and password information to the user to use to register for public registration courses.
