Elon OnTrack

Elon OnTrack is a secure site that allows students to preregister for classes electronically. To preregister on-line you must have an active username and password for OnTrack. If you do not have a username and/or password, please contact the computer support help desk at ext 5200, to receive or reset your login information.

Step One: Access the Website

The website can be accessed from www.elon.edu -> E-Net -> Elon OnTrack or from the web address https://ontrack.elon.edu.

Log in using your username and password. Click OnTrack for Students and choose the Register for Sections option. Choose the Search and Register option. Search and Register is the best option if you do not know the exact course section you want. You are able to search and register for courses based on specific criteria such as term, meeting days and times, course title keywords and instructor.

You may also access the Register for Sections option using the link at the bottom of the Registration Results screen.

Step Two: Using Search and Register

Below is a list of fields that you may use to search for and register for classes. You must supply information in the required fields as indicated below.

• Choose a term from the drop down box for which you are registering. This is a Required Field . (e.g. 05/05 -Summer Session II 2005, 05/01 - Fall Semester 2005)
• If you know the subject of the course (e.g. ENG) you want to check for availability, you may click on the subject from the drop down box.
• If you know the course level of the course (e.g. 100, 200) you want to check availability, you may click on the level from the drop down box.
• If you know the number (e.g. 110, 250) of the course you want to check for availability, you may enter that number in the "Course No" column.
• If you know the section (e.g. A, LL) of the course you want to check for availability, you may enter that letter in the "Section Number" column.
• You may use any of the other search criteria available on the screen including meeting times, days of the week, instructor name or you may leave them blank. . After you have entered the criteria, a screen will be displayed that lists the courses that match the selected criteria. To register for these courses, check the box beside the course(s) you want and click Submit at the bottom of the screen. PLEASE NOTE: A new feature of OnTrack allows you to request multiple courses at the same time.
• On the Register and Drop Sections Screen you must choose an action from the action drop down box for each of your requested courses. Choose the option of RG to add the course to your schedule and the RM option to remove the course from your list. Click Submit.

Once you have submitted your course requests, OnTrack will check the courses for time conflicts, course limits, and prerequisites. For example, if your selected course is closed or prerequisites have not been met, an error message will appear at the top of your registration results screen. This message notifies you that you were NOT successfully registered for that particular course. You may click the home tab at the bottom of the screen to go back to the menu and choose the Register for classes option to register for an alternate course.

Step Three: Verify Your Schedule:

Click on the My Schedule option to view and/or print your schedule. This will verify your successful preregistration in the courses that you selected.

Step Four: Log Out of OnTrack:

You may exit OnTrack by clicking the Log Out button once the process is complete. You are allowed to make changes to your schedule during the preregistration period from the time your access begins until the end of preregistration. If you want to make changes to your schedule you may log in and make adjustments during the preregistration period.
