NEW - Registration Plan Ahead Shopping Cart, Shared on Behalf of the University Registrar, Aaron Marterer (10/24/2024)

The “Schedule Planner” shopping cart has been replaced with a new shopping cart tool called “Plan Ahead” on Thursday, October 24, 2024.

Similar to Schedule Planner, “Plan Ahead Shopping Cart” will allow students to create multiple schedule plans in advance of registration. When students' registration time tickets open, students can add a saved plan to their registration cart and attempt to register for all courses with the click of one button.

Plan Ahead has a similar look and feel to the current registration screen. A video explaining the functionality can be found here:

Please direct any questions to sschelp@sc.edu.

Update on Schedule Planner, Shared on Behalf of the University Registrar, Aaron Marterer (9/26/2024)

Recently the link to Schedule Planner was removed from Self Service Carolina due to errors with the software that needed to be addressed. We know many use this feature to plan out potential schedules and the University is looking into other options as a replacement to the Shopping Cart tool.

Students can continue to use the Self Service Carolina ‘Browse Classes’ and the Enhanced Class Search (classes.sc.edu) to explore course options and develop schedules for registration. Here are resources that can help with this process:
