How to Register for Classes


  1. Log In: Log into the Student Portal using the same Username and Password you use to log into Canvas. If you don’t know what your Username and Password are, contact the MBTS Helpdesk at [email protected] or 816-414-3763.
  2. Check the Term: Make sure that the Term you wish to register for is displayed (top left corner). If the incorrect term is displayed, click change and select the correct term from the drop down menu.
  3. Click on Registration (See menu on left side of screen).
  4. Click Show Filter: Click the tab that says, “Show Filter.” This opens some additional dialog boxes.
  5. Type the Course Number: Underneath the title, “Course ID Filter” you’ll see 4 dialog boxes. In the one entitled “Course #” type the number of one of the courses you wish to register for.
    a. Undergraduate courses have 3 digits in the course number, like this: BS115
    b. Graduate courses have 4 digits in the course number, like this: BS2101

In the “Course #” box type only the numerals for the course number you want to register for. Leave off the letter prefixes.

  1. Choose the Correct Campus: Underneath the title, “Course Access Campus,” you’ll see several different boxes you can check:
    a. If you want to register for a course that’s meeting on the Main Campus in Kansas City, check “MAIN” only.
    b. If you want to register for an ONLINE course, check “ONLINE” only.
    c. If you want to register for a PRACTICUM or CONFERENCE class, then check either MAIN or ONLINE and PRACTICUM/CONFERENCE.
  2. Apply Filter: Scroll down and click on, “Apply Filter.” The course you want will display below. There may be more than one “Section” of the course you want. Make sure you choose the section that will fit with the rest of your schedule.
  3. Check the “Credit” Box: To register for the class you see listed, check the box beside the word “Credit.” If you see “DegAudit,” the class displayed is not required for your degree. If you see “PreReq,” a pre-requisite must be taken before registration for this class can occur.
  4. REPEAT: If you want to enroll in another course, repeat Steps 4-8 above.
  5. Process Registration: When you’re finished selecting ALL your courses, click on the green “Process Registration” at the bottom right of the screen.
