How to Register and Drop/Add Using myRedDragon

Many courses will have multiple elements associated with them. For example, many of the science courses offered at Cortland have a lecture and a lab component. When viewing the public schedule, the lecture will appear at the top of the list, with the labs appearing below and indented.  

This indicates that these courses are linked, and you must register for the lecture, and the lab (or one of multiple lab options).
