Class Registration
First-Year Learning Community Students enjoy priority course registration the first week in June.
- The first step in your Course Registration process is to complete your Advising Assessment Form. Please complete this form by May 20th. Our academic advising team will review your form starting on May 21st and will contact you within 10 days with the next steps in your registration process. Based on the information you provide in the form, your assigned advisor will suggest the courses you should take first semester for your major, the Core curriculum, and other graduation requirements.
- Next, complete your placement tests as soon as possible! The results of your placements will determine which classes you will need to take in the fall.
- After the above steps, you can review these other tips to help you get ready for class registration: Class Registration Tips.
