Registration, Housing & Financial Policies Overview

All students – including all full-time or part-time continuing, returning/readmitted, transfer and continuing education (CE) students – must be registered for classes by noon on the Friday before the semester begins. Students not registered by this date may have their enrollment status cancelled.

Registered students may adjust their schedules to drop or add full-term courses, during the first five days of the semester.

Students are eligible to register only if they have no registration “holds” on their records or accounts. Offices that place holds on records and accounts include Academic Advising, Health Services, Registrar, and Student Accounts.
