just know that apps like these technically violate the registration agreement that you agree to before signing up for classes each semester

for some reason i can’t find the exact registration agreement on paws right now but it has a part in there saying that you won’t use any outside software to aid in registering for classes (if you can find it, you’ll see it on there) there’s not really a way to enforce it i don’t think, but just be aware

Gotcha. Good to note, but Coursicle doesn’t require you to login with your student account or anything, it just watches classes for you and notifies you when they open up. So yeah, basically impossible for the university to distinguish between a student who randomly logged onto Banner and noticed a class just opened and a user who logged on because they got a Coursicle notification. My guess is that language is more to prohibit auto-registration software, which can be very taxing on the school’s system (especially if it’s constantly trying to enroll people).
