Registration Information:

• Registering for classes -- you will be registering yourself for your classes once you receive the Registration Email from us. Click on the My Academics tab, then Add/Drop Classes along the left column. Do NOT do this now! Wait for the email from us, as we'll give you class information you'll need to complete this process. The registration process is set up to resemble an online shopping experience. 
  • 1) search for a course
  • 2) choose your course by clicking the red select button,
  • 3) place your selected course in a “shopping cart” by clicking next
  • 4) click on NEW SEARCH and repeat steps 1-3 for all courses
  • 5) click on your “shopping cart”
  • 6) select all needed courses and click on enroll to add the course(s) to your schedule
  • 7) click on FINISH ENROLLING
• Your Class Schedule -- once you have registered, you can find your class schedule under My Academics - View My Schedule, also along the left column.
• Dropping classes -- this is a note for later, and some of this won't be completely clear until you've registered. Once you are registered, if you must drop a class, you must do this yourself; we cannot do this for you! If you must drop, sooner is better than later, as there are penalties for dropping after classes have begun. To drop a class, go to My Academics - Add/Drop Classes. Find the Drop link towards the top of the page.  Select the class you want to drop, and then click the DROP SELECTED CLASSES button.
