How to Navigate Populi

You can register for courses works when your school has set up online enrollment periods. During these periods, you can enroll in courses, sign up to audit them, drop courses, and get on the waiting list.

Here are the ways you can get to the registration page:

• When you log in to Populi, you’ll see an alert on your Home page that looks like this. Click the alert to go the registration page. You’ll only see this alert during an enrollment period that is open to you.
• Go to My Profile and click the Registration view. This view only appears during an enrollment period that is open to you.
• Go to https://inmed.populiweb.com/register (you may need to log in). If enrollment is open to you, you’ll see the Registration view; if not, you’ll see a message informing you that enrollment is not open.

• Selected Courses are those you’ve registered for (or hope to).
• Courses Offered are those for which you may submit an enrollment request. The courses you see here depend on your selections from the drop-downs:
  • Enroll/Audit: Toggle between courses you can enroll in or audit.
  • Show Available courses with no conflicts: These are courses that match your program and campus and for which you’ve fulfilled the prerequisites (or are currently enrolled in a prerequisite, corequisite, or equivalent) and with which you have no schedule conflicts. Additionally, if there is a term max enrollment limit, it shows courses which fall within that constraint.
  • Show Available courses: These courses include the above together with courses that have schedule conflicts and max enrollment conflicts.
  • Show All courses: This shows every course offered in the term, whether or not you can register for it.
• Each course includes important details:
  • Name, faculty, and schedule.
  • Whether the course is available for enrollment and/or auditing, how many openings, and credits/hours.
  • Conflicts appear in red: schedule, prerequisites, and term max enrollment constraints.
  • If you’ve already passed this course, you’ll see a notice that she’s already passed it. This does not prevent you from registering for that course.
• “plus sign” lets you register for that course.
• “lock” means that you cannot register for this course because of a conflict with schedule, enrollment limits, or unmet prerequisites.

A few things to remember…

• Your school may opt to process registrations on a set date/time. In such cases, when you save your registration, you are simply submitting it for later processing. You will not be able to change your registration request until your previous request has been processed!
• Select courses in consultation with your Degree Audit. The Degree Audit can tell you exactly what courses remain for you to complete your degree; it also enables “what-if” scenarios that show how your academic progress measures up toward other degrees.
• Registration will not give you the option to enroll in courses for which you have not fulfilled prerequisites. So, for example, diploma learners can’t enroll in the service-learning course while they have not completed the graduate certificate course. However, the registrar can enroll you in any course; if you’ve been permitted to take courses not available to you on the Registration page, contact your advisor or the registrar.
• The registar or your advisor may apply a lock to your account. If that is the case, you’ll see a yellow banner with a message at the top of the screen. As long as the lock is in place, you will not be able to make any changes to your registration—the registrar or your advisor must do so.
• If you’re having trouble with registration, please contact the registrar at your school. If it’s an academic issue, they can take care of it. If it’s a technical issue, they’ll tell us here at Populi!
