To use the registration system functions, you must select/submit a term.  The Registration Menu will allow you to choose functions to register, add/drop courses, enter credit hours for variable credit classes, and/or look up or search for available classes.  This menu will also allow you to select an option to review your class schedule in either of two formats (by time and day or with course details).

You may only drop a course during a regularly scheduled registration phase. If the drop action is available, it will appear as an option in the drop-down list box. If drop action is not available, then you must withdraw from the course; check the drop dates on the Registration Calendar. (Select the semester you'd like to view from the "Academic/Registration Calendars" drop-down near the top of the page.)

After late registration, you may not drop a class and may only withdraw. If the withdraw action is available, it will appear as an option in the dropdown list box. If the action is not available, check the last date to withdraw on the online Registration Calendar. (Select the semester you'd like to view from the "Academic/Registration Calendars" drop-down near the top of the page.)

Variable Credit Classes require that you select the Change Variable Credit Hours option to enter the correct number of credits. The registration system will automatically register you for only the minimum number of credits for the course.

Verify Your Status in Each Class by reviewing the information in the Status box to the right of each course title after submitting changes. You must submit all changes prior to leaving the registration screen.

NOTE: Never leave your computer without logging out. This will protect your record information from access by others.
