As you get ready for registration, we’re here to support you every step of the way! Please review the following updates and details about our advising services:
Check your enrollment date to know exactly when you can begin registering for classes.
Explore our website resources! You’ll find step-by-step videos on how to register, use your degree plan, and check your academic requirements.
During the registration period, our usual one-on-one drop-in advising will be on pause. Instead, we’re offering Registration Labs—welcoming, group sessions designed to help you with registration questions and issues.
If you’d like more personalized support, you can still schedule a one-on-one advising appointment.
