The on-line registration system will open for students at 6:00 p.m. on Thursday, December 2nd. To be eligible to use the system you must be financially cleared with the office of student accounts.  The system allows you to ask to be registered in up to 18 credits of coursework. Faculty log in to the system and see a list of students who have asked to register in their course. Once they have decided who to accept, you will be able to log in again and see the status of your request (approved, denied, or pending).  If you are not admitted in to a course, the system will then allow you to put your name on another list.

 

After the online registration system closes you will be able to add other courses using a drop/add form during the open registration period that will last until the end of the semester.

 

Faculty will only be able to pre-register you if you use the on-line system (that is, sending an email will not put you on the official list of students who have requested pre-registration).

 

If you are a senior we will automatically register you for the second half of your senior project. You do not need to request registration through the on-line system.

 

Before using the pre-registration system, please be sure to read the coursebook thoroughly and meet with your adviser to discuss course selection for the fall.
