- Syllabi Preview (before registering): For many Barnard classes, you can preview syllabi via Vergil → Course Title → View in CourseWorks.
- Clear Registration holds: If you have a registration hold (e.g. a hold placed by the Bursar, Dean’s Office, Health Services), you will need to clear the hold before you can add/drop courses.

- If you are already registered for more than 19 credits (by getting off of waitlists), request permission from your adviser to retain the overload credits.
