Preparing to Register 

It is important to prepare and plan ahead for each registration cycle.  You can prepare for registration by checking your registration status to determine when you can register and identify and resolve issues that may prevent registration.  You can plan ahead by identifying the courses required for your program and which courses are being offered in the upcoming term.

Immunization

Proof of immunization is required before you will be able to register for classes.

Academic Standing 

Students who are not in Good Standing will have an Academic Standing hold placed on their record that will prevent registration in future terms.  Students who have this hold on their account will need to meet with their academic advisor.
