When you have successfully registered for all of your classes and lab/discussion sections, you may print your schedule.

On the Add/Drop Classes page, use the Student Schedule by Day and Time link at the bottom of the page to view your detailed schedule.

To print your schedule, it is helpful to change the font size of your browser to a smaller font size.  In Internet Explorer, go to View > Text Size > and select Smallest (pictured in the image to the right).

Netscape users go to Edit > Preferences > Appearance > Fonts > and select a smaller font size (not pictured).
