How to search Vergil for classes with open seats or other relevant criteria

 

Did you know you can use the Course Search in Vergil to filter for classes that have open seats?

Select “Only show classes with open seats” in the search results!

There are a bunch of other useful things you can filter for, including  classes that satisfy Barnard General Education (Foundations) requirements, classes with a particular number of credits, etc. 


Is a hold preventing you from adding/dropping courses? Do you want to know when ALL of your upcoming registration times are?

Holds

If you logged into Vergil and got an orange pop-up telling you a hold is preventing you from adding/dropping,


  1. Click on the word Holds and an additional pop-up will tell you want kind of hold(s) you have. 
  2. If you need to accept the terms/conditions for this semester or complete a survey, do that ASAP!  
  3. Otherwise, contact the office that has placed the hold to address it ASAP.
  4. Even if you don't need to register/add/drop right now, this is still a problem that needs to be resolved before it causes you any future issues!

 

Registration Times 

The box next to the holds box will tell you when your next registration time is or if you are currently in a registration time.  Click on it for a list of all of your upcoming registration times. Note that you can only make any changes to your schedule during a registration time (add, drop, waitlist, leave waitlist, etc.)
