By registering the course voluntarily, the new system improved registration mechanism, implemented course registration of common course for undergraduate and graduate students, and also supported the teaching activities across spring, summer and fall semesters. This article introduces the design and implementation of the new online course registration system, including registration mechanism, technical architecture, and system design, etc.
