START BIDDING ROUND Click on View Section link on the left to start bidding for your elective classes. The amount you bid for a class will determine whether you are enrolled or possibly wait listed. If you are wait listed, your bid amount will determine your priority on that wait list. Its NOT a first- come first-serve basis. Priority is given to highest bidders and tie bids will be randomized. If you review your materials ahead of time, it should only take a few minutes to use MRS and submit your bids. During Bidding period, you can return to MRS to adjust any of your bid points if you wish. Be sure to make all of your adjustments before the Bidding period ends. 7

BIDDING ON CLASSES To bid for a class, enter your points in the box and click bid. To change your bid points, enter your points in the box and click on change bid. To drop your bid from a class, click on drop bid. If a class has a prerequisite requirement or a time conflict, a warning in red will appear in the upper left corner. To bypass the warnings, click on ok to proceed with bidding for that class. However, you will need to get a prerequisite waiver from the instructor in order to get registered for a class that you have not met the prerequisite requirements. MRS will allow you to bid for conflicting classes during the Bidding Round but you HAVE to resolve any conflicting classes during the Resolution & Add/Drop Round or else you will be dropped from ALL conflicting classes. Conflicting classes are duplicate classes and classes that are scheduled at the same time. To view room location and a short description of the class, click on the course. 8

BIDDING ROUND WHEN MAX UNITS ARE MET OR ALL POINTS ARE USED You can use ALL of your points to bid for as many units as you are allowed. When you have reached the maximum units allowed or used up all your bid points, the option to bid for the rest of the classes will disappear but if you drop one of your bids, the option to bid for the rest of the classes will appear again. You can make as many changes as you would like until the end of your Bidding Round. 9
