> Important Note for Undergraduate and non-Sloan Graduate students:
> · For 15.011, 15.016, 15.031J, 15.279, 15.301, 15.305, 15.310, 15.411, 15.412, 15.501, and 15.516, you can sign up directly through WebSIS. It is not necessary to bid for these courses.
> Passwords:
> If it’s the first time you’re using the system, use your MIT ID# as both your login and password.
> Create a new password under 'Change Password’ once you've entered the system -- write it down.
> Passwords are case sensitive and up to twenty characters in length.
> If you have used the system before and have forgotten your password, please use the password retrieval tool on the login page.
> Make informed bidding decisions:
> Read the home page before entering the bid system for any updates or changes to the schedule.
> Review the Course Bidding Instruction Slides under the ‘Bidding Guidelines’ tab. The slides will explain the bid system.
> Fall Course Schedule: Seat availability in each round will be a large indicator of how to distribute bidding points.
> Course Evaluations are posted on the SloanBid website under ‘Course Information Resources’ and are also available at Dewey Library Reserve Desk. Note that Special Seminar course numbers change each semester and data may not be available.
> Bidding Basics:
> Every student gets 1000 points each term to bid on classes.
> The bid point range for any subject during Round II is 0-1000 points.
> Bid now for both H1 and H2 classes and full term classes.
> If you drop a bid at any time during an open round, you will be refunded all points placed on that course.
> Check that you have bid successfully by reviewing your work under ‘My Bids & Courses’.
> Make one last check of your bids prior to exiting the system
> Bidding is not time sensitive. All bids are resolved simultaneously at the end of each Round. BUT, don't wait until the last minute to place bids!
> Successful bids become your pre-registration and will appear on your Registration Form.
> When finished bidding, completely log out of the system, especially if using a lab computer!
> Sectioned Classes:
> You have four choices when choosing a sectioned class - read them carefully.
> You may bid for only one section per class.
> The bidding system allows you to create a conflicting schedule; review your results carefully -- you may not have gained the section for which you bid.
> If you receive a section that you don't want, you can enter the section swap site, opening July 25th
> Course Pre-Requisites & Restrictions:
> The system will not allow you to view courses restricted to students in other programs.
> Prerequisites: Do not waste bid points if you don't have the necessary pre-reqs. Pre-requisites are listed in the MIT Course Bulletin. You may first want to email an instructor to discuss your particular situation.
> 'P' restriction requires instructor permission. Read the front page of SloanBid on registration instructions for ‘P’ courses.
> Round II, Monday, May 13th, 9:00 AM – Wednesday, May 29th, 5:00 PM
> Round II is not time sensitive. When you bid during the round will not affect the success of your bid. Bid early though to leave time for resolving issues / answering questions.
> Unsuccessful Round II bids do not create waitlist positions. You must bid toward the waitlist during the waitlist round.
> You can bid for closed courses in Round II. See the front page of the bidding website for information on bidding on a closed course.
> Section Swap Round, Thursday, July 25th, 9:00 AM – Thursday, August 1st, 5:00 PM
> Swaps
> Use SloanBid if you have successfully gained a seat in a sectioned Sloan class during bidding but would now like to switch sections.
> The system will check periodically for a match to your swap.
> You will be notified via email if a swap is conducted. No further paperwork is necessary.
> If your request is not accommodated by the conclusion of the round, your swap request will be placed at the top of the waitlist.
> Waitlist Round, Monday, August 5th, 9:00 AM – Monday, August 19th, 5:00 PM
> Waitlists
> After the previous rounds, the system re-opens to allow bidding only on Waitlists.
> A list of closed classes will be posted on the SloanBid website under ‘Course Information Resources’.
> ** All students will receive a fresh 1000 points in the waitlist round exclusively for waitlist-only bidding.
> Courses filling in Round II will only have waitlist bidding during the waitlist-only round.
> Waitlists are bid upon competitively, using the same criteria as bidding: levels of prioritization and points bid.
> Any class in which you have a waitlist position will not appear on your online registration form.
> The instructor or TA will email you if a seat becomes available in a waitlisted class. You must then complete an Add Form with faculty signature to formally register for the course.
> There is no guarantee that seats will become available or that an instructor will choose to use a waitlist.
