Register for Classes
It’s that time of year when the new semester is getting closer, and you should start thinking about what courses you need to take to stay on track for graduation. Make sure you register early so you get enrolled in the courses you want to take to meet your needs and your schedule. The Academic Calendar will have important academic dates and payment deadlines. We encourage students to reference it often!
