Register for a course

Courses are how Latte organizes everything around a class — its schedule, tasks, shared notes, and discussions all hang off the course you register for. Latte calls courses and student clubs alike activities, and registering for one is the same either way: it adds the course to your dashboard and connects you with the other students taking it.

Before you start

Setting up your whole timetable at once? Use Set up your school schedule instead — it registers every course in one pass. This article covers adding a single course.

  1. Open Home. Your registered courses appear as tiles.

  2. Click the add tile (the + at the end of the grid). The Course registration dialog opens ("Register to a new course by typing its name. If it does not yet exist, you will be prompted to add it!").

  3. Start typing the course name in the Register to a course field. Latte suggests matching courses that other students have already created.

    },
    {
      "fill": {
        "testId": "activity-choice-input",
        "value": "CS-250 Algorithms"
      }
    }
  ],
  "clip": {
    "testId": "activity-registration-dialog",
    "pad": 16
  }
}

  4. Click a suggestion to enroll in that existing course, or click Create the course "…" to create a brand-new one and enroll yourself. Courses are shared across Latte, so classmates who register for the same course all join the same one.

  5. The course appears on your dashboard right away.

On the Latte desktop app

The desktop app registers courses exactly the same way — the courses grid is on the same Home screen.

tip

An activity can be a Course or an Association (a student club). Registering works the same for both — just type the name and pick it or create it.
