Validate courses using the function “Shopping Cart / Enroll Classes”

Starting from 24 April, students may logon CUSIS to search and pre-select courses they wish to enroll for Summer Session 2019-20 and put them into the Shopping Cart. Students can then click the button ‘Validate’ in the function “Shopping Cart / Enroll Classes” to check whether their desired courses under the Shopping Cart have any timetable conflicts and whether they meet the course enrolment rules. If students do NOT fulfill the pre-requisite of a course but must take the course, they should approach the course offering department for advice. However, if students fulfill the pre-requisite or course enrolment rules and yet have difficulty in course enrolment, they must report the problems by e-mail to This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.. RES and ITSC will follow up the reported problems as soon as possible.

Please note that ‘validate’ system function just helps students to check the eligibilty of enrolling their desired courses under the Shopping Cart. Student MUST logon CUSIS again during the above course registration period to finish the final enrolment process.

Students are recommended to validate again their pre-selected courses before the actual course selection, since any changes in timetable and course enrolment rules may affect the previous course validation results.

Finish Course Enrolment

During the course registration period, students MUST logon CUSIS and check again the pre-selected courses under the Shopping Cart, then follow instructions to finish the remaining steps of course enrolment. The enrolment results will be made known immediately.

Enroll, Drop, Swap and Update Classes

If students need to make adjustments to their course enrolment, they may use the following system functions.

• Enroll Classes (under the function “Shopping Cart / Enroll Classes”):

  Choose the classes already placed in the Shopping Cart, ‘validate’ the enrollment rules, and then click ‘Enroll’ and follow the steps to finish enrolling course.

• Drop Classes:

  To choose the class(es) intended to be dropped from the list of already enrolled classes, click ‘Drop Classes’ and then ‘Yes’ to confirm.

• Swap Classes:

  Select a class to drop from the already enrolled classes, and then use ‘Class Search’ to select a class to add, then proceed to finish enrolling course.

• Update Classes:

  If a course comprises more than one tutorial sections (e.g. TUT01, TUT02) and the course offering department allows students to make changes on tutorial, students may use ‘Update Classes’ to select another tutorial, if quota allows such changes.

Wait List

For classes with ‘wait list’, students will be put into the wait list with the ‘wait list position’ when the class is full if they choose to be put in the wait list during course enrolment, on the condition that they fulfill the course enrollment rules. If some students drop the class or departments add quota during the course registration period, students on the ‘wait list’ will enroll in the class automatically. Therefore, students on the wait list should check the course enrollment record daily to keep updated. Students MUST remove their name from wait list on their own as soon as possible if they do not intend to take the course.

Since taking summer course(s) is optional, the wait list information under CUSIS will NOT be kept after course registration period. Hence, students MUST apply again for the summer course during add/drop periods.
