Registering for Classes
Understanding registration is one of the single most important responsibilities you have as a college student. Students who can easily navigate the system become very resourceful and get the courses they need. Below are some resources to make your registration much easier.
When Do I Register?
You can see when registration begins generally for each term on the Academic Calendar, but not everyone registers at the same time. That would be chaos! Your registration time—called an Enrollment Date—is assigned to you based on your number of earned credits. (For example, seniors with 84 to 120 credits register in the first few days, next juniors with 54 to 83 credits register, etc.) An Enrollment Date is not an actual meeting with a person, but the date and time you can log in to SIS and register. Find your Enrollment Date in your SIS account. Log In to SIS.

Don't delay. Be sure to register at your assigned Enrollment Date. Taking the right courses in sequence is very important to graduating on time. If you wait to register, you run the risk of those courses closing.

How to make changes to my schedule?
Don't be afraid to add classes to your schedule. It's much easier to add a class while space is available and drop or swap it from your schedule later, than to try to get into a class that is already full. See how you can easily drop a class or swap a class from the SIS Student Center.

What Courses Should I Take?
If you know your intended major, you can enroll in courses from that major and take General Education Requirements to fill your schedule. If you are undecided, we encourage you to take a variety of General Education requirements to explore possible majors and minors and build a foundation of knowledge to take forward as you progress.
