Understanding the registration process
The registration process at SDSU can be navigated through the my.SDSU portal. Here, you can log in with your SDSUid and password to access your registration window. Each semester, students will be assigned a registration appointment to sign up for the upcoming semester's courses.
The academic year is divided into two 15-week semesters, fall and spring, and it is recommended that students enrol in 15 units each semester to stay on track for their degree. A unit represents 50 minutes of class time per week, with most classes being 3 units. Lower-division GE courses are typically completed in the first two years, while upper-division GE courses are taken in the junior year.
To search for classes, you can use the Search for Classes field and type in keywords, or use the Additional ways to search feature to narrow down your options by Available Subjects, Units, Class Meeting Days and Times, Instruction Mode, and Class Attributes. Once you have found a course you wish to take, you can select Add to Shopping Cart and then Accept to advance. If the course is full, you can use the "Add to waitlist if class is full" option and you will be automatically enrolled when a space becomes available.
It is important to note that there are specific requirements for each major, and students are encouraged to read the University Catalog and meet with their major advisor to ensure they are taking the right courses. Some majors may require specific academic requirements to be met within seven years of granting an undergraduate degree, and any changes to your course selection should be approved by your major advisor.
Additionally, students pursuing a STEM major need to complete placement assessments, and there are specific instructions for adding a class using Student Specific Permissions or a General Permission Number. For further guidance, students can refer to the SDSU Student Registration Guide and the Permissions Guide.

The academic year at SDSU is divided into two 15-week semesters: fall and spring. Each semester, students are assigned a registration appointment to sign up for the upcoming semester's courses.
Continuing undergraduate students generally register for classes during April for the fall semester and November for the spring semester.

To search for specific classes, such as the US Constitution class, you can use the Search for Classes field on the my.SDSU website. This allows you to search by keywords, such as "US Constitution."

Waitlisting for a full course
San Diego State University (SDSU) offers a wide range of courses for students to choose from each semester. The registration process can be completed through the my.SDSU portal, where students can search for classes using keywords or specific Course IDs.
However, some courses may be in high demand and fill up quickly, resulting in a full class. In such cases, students have the option to join a waitlist for the course. The waitlist allows students to wait for a spot in a full class, and if a space opens up, they will be automatically enrolled based on their position on the waitlist. It is important to note that being on the waitlist does not guarantee enrollment, and students should regularly check their status and the course requirements.
To join a waitlist, students can follow these steps during the registration period:
- Search for the desired course using the Search for Classes field on the my.SDSU portal.
- Once the course is located, review the course information and details to ensure it aligns with your schedule and requirements.
- If the course is full, select the "Add to waitlist if class is full" option and toggle it to "Yes".
- Be sure to also select “Add to Shopping Cart” and then “Accept” to advance.
- Review your choice and submit to add the course to your Shopping Cart.
It is recommended that students attend the classes they are waitlisted for, as this will help them stay on track with the course material if a spot becomes available. Additionally, students should be mindful of any prerequisites or restrictions for the course, as these must be met to be eligible for enrollment.
For specific information about the US Constitution class and its availability, students can refer to the SDSU website or contact an advisor for guidance.
