  2. During the open online registration period, you can attempt to add the class yourself in the MySanDiego Portal
    1. If it works, great!
      1. Now: Reach out to the instructor to introduce yourself and let them know what program you are in and why you want to take the class. This is to ensure that there are not any “hidden” prerequisites or experience expectations and that you will be set up for success!
    2. If registration is blocked, email Beth Garofalo, Academic Programs Manager for Leadership Studies, at bethg@sandiego.edu, to request permission and how to register. Registration may or may not ultimately be possible. She may need to put you in contact with an instructor, program director, or dean.
