Sign in to Gmail using your Bear Cub Email address and password. If you are already signed in to a personal Gmail account, add your Bear Cub Email as another account or use a private/incognito window.

Register, waitlist, or drop classes
- How do I search for classes?
Open the Student Registration and Records card and select Browse, Plan, and Register for Courses. Use search filters or advanced search to find classes that meet your needs.
- Where do I register for classes?
Open the Student Registration and Records card, select Open Student Dashboard, and use the registration tools.
- How do I complete the Pre-Registration Survey?
- Log in to Bear Cub Hub with your SID and password.
- Select the notification bell in the upper-right corner and choose View Task.
- Complete every section of the survey.
- Select Submit, then Complete Form Task.
- Confirm that the survey appears as completed under All Tasks.
- How do I know I am successfully registered?
After adding a class in Student Registration and Records, select Submit. Your status changes from Pending to Registered when registration is complete.
- Can I waitlist or drop classes?
Yes. In the registration summary, use the Action menu to choose waitlist or drop, then submit the change.
- How do waitlists work before a class begins?
Being on a waitlist does not mean you are registered, and the system does not automatically enroll you when a seat opens.
When a seat opens, the student at the top of the waitlist receives an email and has 24 hours to register:
- Log in to Bear Cub Hub.
- From Student Services, select Browse, Plan and Register Courses, then Register for Classes.
- Select the term for the waitlisted class.
- In the course Summary, choose Register from the Action menu.
- Save your changes.
If you miss the 24-hour window, you must add yourself to the bottom of the waitlist again. The system stops sending these emails 24 hours before the class start date shown in the schedule.
- How do waitlists work after a class begins?
On the first day of class, automatic waitlist processing stops, but instructors can still view the list. An instructor may send an authorization (add) code. Before using the code, drop yourself from the waitlist.
- How do I check my waitlist position?
- Open the Student Dashboard and select Browse, Plan and Register for Courses.
- Select Register for Classes or View Registration Information, then choose the term.
- Select the Schedule Details tab below the Search or Class Schedule area.
- Expand the waitlisted course using the arrow beside its name.
- Find Waitlist Position in the course details.
- When can I use an authorization (add) code?
Authorization codes are generated one week before classes begin. Faculty can then provide them to students. You can use a code starting on the first day of that class as listed in the course schedule.
- How do I use an authorization (add) code?
- From the Student Dashboard, select Browse, Plan and Register for Courses, then Register for Classes.
- Select the term and choose Continue.
- If you are already waitlisted, choose Drop Before Course Starts in the Summary and submit the change.
- Search by subject or CRN, then select Add beside the course.
- Enter the instructor's authorization code and select Confirm.
- Select Submit in the Summary and confirm that your status is registered.
- Return to the Bear Cub Hub home page. On the My Student Account card, select View Student Account and follow the prompts to pay your fees.
If the code does not work, check the class start date. Codes cannot be used before the scheduled first day of that class.

Navigate and personalize Bear Cub Hub
- What are cards in Bear Cub Hub?
Cards are the main way to open tools and services. Each card connects to a function such as registration, grades, or student records.

Cards are personalized by role. Students, faculty, and staff may see different cards, and some required cards may be locked in place.

Yes. Bear Cub Hub adjusts to your screen size and displays cards in a vertical layout on mobile devices.

A lock means the card is required for your role and cannot be removed from your home page.

Use the flag icon on a card to add or remove it from your home page. A flagged card is a favorite and appears on the home page. Select View All Cards to browse more options.
