When do I register for classes?

Each semester, continuing students have the opportunity to register for future term courses prior to new students. This is known as Early Registration, and typically occurs in early November for spring registration and early April for summer / fall registration. The timeframe typically lasts 11 business days and the Registrar's Office provides students with day and time to register based on accumulated earned credits (institutional and transfer).  Your current credit hours are not included in this total, as they are not yet earned.
