Classes will not be overloaded on the NMSU-A campus unless it is absolutely necessary. If one or more of the classes for which you are trying to register is full, you must choose another section (day/time/instructor) for that class. If that class is not offered in other sections, then you must choose a class from your degree plan that is available. Visit with an academic advisor if you need help. Be sure to register for the classes you have already listed on your registration document or entered online. You can always add a class later. Registering for classes that are available at the time you register will reserve your seat.
