How do I register for classes?

• Browse and register for courses at Courses@Brown (CAB). Tutorials through the Office of the Registrar are available.
• Brown uses Canvas as its online courseware: canvas.brown.edu     

What is shopping period?

• At Brown, the first two weeks of the semester are designated “shopping period.”
• During shopping period, students explore courses in line with their interests and develop a personalized course of study.
• Non-registered students can access published Canvas course materials during shopping period.
• At the end of shopping period, students not officially registered for a course through Banner will be removed the Canvas course site.

Note shopping period deadlines

• Note in the academic calendar the last day to add a course without a fee, which is the official end of “shopping period.”
• CAB is then taken down for approximately 1 hour.
• Once relaunched, all course additions require instructor override and a late fee of $15 per course.
