Registration - Summer and Fall
Registration for the summer and fall semesters opened on March 17th. Please register now if you have not already done so.
Don't forget that ALL summer offerings are subject to faculty availability during the summer. No summer courses are guaranteed - as no faculty are obligated to teach during the summer months.
We have added some (hopefully) helpful information on the student website regarding course sequencing here. There is information on:
- Pre-requisites
- What classes are offered on-campus and online (and when)
- What classes are offered only online (and when)
Campus students should not enroll in a course online when it is offered on campus in any other semester. If a class is ever ONLY offered online, then an on-campus student may take the online version of the course. Online students should not enroll in any on-campus course.
