4. Click "Add" under the Actions column.
5. Select the appropriate start date, and click "Add Selected Courses."
*Please make sure you only rank selections for the current stage of the lottery. If the current stage is May and you rank March electives, the non-May electives will be removed and the lottery will choose from the remaining selections.
