Students may register online using any computer with Internet access. If you do not have your own personal computer, you may use the departmental lab of your choice or the area designated for online registration by the Office of the Registrar. Be sure to print two (2) copies of your schedule, or you can pick up a copy at the Campus Union Ballroom at the time corresponding with your last name. Then, proceed to the Business Office area (Cashiers) to pay fees.
SPECIAL NOTE: Before beginning the online registration process, each student must contact the housing office as the first step in the registration process. Next, you must see your academic advisor to approve your schedule and receive your registration access alternate PIN (Personal Identification Number).
