Registration and Drop/Add Instructions

If you have already discussed your schedule with an adviser, follow the instructions below to register or drop/add.

To register or to add a course, you'll need to look up the six-digit schedule number for each course in the Schedule of Courses.

Using eLion (available 7:30 a.m. to 3:00 a.m. daily)

Go to eLion and click on Students.
Log in to eLion using your Penn State user ID and password.
Click on Drop/Add or Registration in the menu.
Select the appropriate semester or session and click on Continue.
Re-enter your password.

To register for your courses, enter the schedule numbers for up to six courses in the “Course Schedule Number” boxes and click on Continue. If all of the courses you requested are available, you will receive a confirmation message. If not all of the courses are available, an error or warning message will appear with further instructions.

To add a course, type the course schedule number in the “Add a Course” box and click on the Add course to your schedule button. If the course is not added to your schedule, an error or warning message will appear.

To drop a course, click to darken the circle next to the schedule number of the course that you want to drop and click on the Drop selected course button. If the course is not dropped from your schedule, an error or warning message will appear.

To verify your registration or drop/add, click on the E-mail schedule button. A copy of your schedule will be sent to your Penn State e-mail account.
