Student Registration

  • Each term, excluding summer session, continuing students will receive their enrollment appointment two weeks before the start of registration. An enrollment appointment is an assigned date and time that a student may begin registering for the upcoming term.
  • Before enrolling in classes, make sure holds are cleared from account, as they will block enrollment. This can be found under Student > To Do List > Task List.
  • Check your student dashboard for other holds that prevent enrollment and take the appropriate action to clear them before your registration appointment.

Change of Schedule Period

  • The change of schedule period is five (5) business days long, starting with the first day of instruction. Alternate dates apply for summer session, please refer to the Academic Calendar.
  • Students that add classes after the change of schedule deadline must obtain permission to enroll. Late registration fees will apply as defined by the academic calendar.
  • After the change of schedule period, students may not drop courses without academic and financial responsibility. Refer to withdrawal polices and contact Registrar Services for information and guidance.
  • After the change of schedule deadline has passed, students cannot access enrollment functions for the term in question. Appropriate approvals for late enrollment must be secured and forwarded to Registrar Services for processing.

  • If you do not see the desired term appear under “Add Classes,” your student status may not be active.
