+# UT Registration Plus
+
+We've all been there. 20 tabs of Rate My Professor, Catalyst, and the UT Course Catalog open and you still don't know what classes to take.
+This extension tries to streamline most of the unnecessary steps and headaches of registering for classes at UT Austin.
+
+
+
+
+- For each class on the UT Course Catalog we provide a "breakdown" popup, with quick and easy links to the RateMyProfessor and eCIS pages of the professor, as well as syllabi from when the professor taught the class in the past.
+
+- Gets the course description and highlight the important information like prerequisites, restrictions, etc.
+
+- Shows an aggregate graph of the grade distributions for when the professor taught the class in the past.
+
+- Gives you the ability to "Save Courses" and view them in the extension popup. This lets you see any schedule conflicts, and makes copy-pasting the unique code much easier when you're actually registering.
+
+- Highlights and crosses-out what courses on the UT Course Catalog would conflict with your currently saved courses, making selecting courses that fit with your schedule so much easier.
