Registration abbreviations
When selecting courses, you should be aware of the terms which appear as column headings in the class schedules and which are defined below:
COURSE
Under this heading appears the course subject, course number and course title. The course subject is a three- or four- character abbreviation of the subject area.
SEC
Each section or offering of a course has a three-digit section number associated with it.
CRN (Course Reference Number)
Under this heading, each course will be identified by a five-digit course reference number that must be used when registering by Memorial Self-Service. This number has no inherent significance and may change for each course from semester to semester.
SLOT(S)
Most course sections have been assigned a specific time slot in which the class will meet. These are indicated on the class schedule as well as on the timetables.
Time slot 99 refers to a time slot different from normal. Course sections assigned this time slot are either offered through distance education or will meet at times determined by the academic unit. You should contact the academic unit for details before attempting to schedule any other course, since these classes often meet at irregular times and may pose scheduling problems.
The registration system will warn you if you have registered or wait-listed for a course that will cause a timetable clash. However, neither the system nor the academic unit can correct or prevent the clash, and the academic unit may not be able to help you. Therefore, planning a conflict-free schedule is a critical step in your registration procedure. Please check and re-check your course selections before attempting to register.
DAYS, BEG TIME, END TIME
The days of the week are abbreviated as:
BEG TIME refers to the starting time of the course section following the 24-hour clock;
END TIME refers to the time the section finishes meeting.
ROOM
This refers to the building and room where the course section will meet. If you are unfamiliar with any of Memorial's building abbreviations, check out our list of codes.
SCHD TYPE
This column refers to the activity associated with the course section and will be one of the following:
Online Education Course Information Letters and notification of term tests and final exam dates, times and locations are available through the Online Education menu in Memorial Self-Service.

Memorial has a learning management system, Brightspace (D2L), for all online  students and on-campus students who have registered for a course that will feature a web-based component.

If you need help on campus to set up your account, you can visit the Commons in the QEll Library.
