1. How do I look up what Lecture/Lab to choose?

To choose a Lecture and Lab combo, go to the “Look Up Classes” menu in the Self-Service/CatsWeb database. Pick the semester you want to register for, Communication Studies, 1310. The Lectures are listed in numbers and Labs are listed beginning with a “B” or an “L.” Once you pick which Lecture section you want, click on the blue CRN number/link and the next window will tell you which Lab you will need to select. After you know which Lab to select, choose and highlight the box beside the Lecture section and the box beside the Lab section, scroll to the bottom of the page and select “Add.”
2. My COMM 1310 Lecture and Lab are at the same time, is that okay?

Yes, as long as you chose a Lab section that was listed with the Lecture section you chose, it will be fine. When you are in one you will not be in the other, you are never in lecture and lab on the same days. The daily schedule at the end of the syllabus tells you where you need to be (lecture or lab) each day.

To view which Labs are matched with each Lecture, open up the Self-Service Banner homepage and click on “Class Schedule.” Search by current term, Subject: “Communication Studies.” Click on the blue CRN number/link and Labs are listed in the first line under the COMM 1310 Lecture listings (listed in blue).
