Advising for current students will begin on March 18th and registration will begin on April 1st, by class year. Those who register by May 8th will not have to pay a registration deposit. After May 8th, students will need to pay a $100 deposit in order to register. Be sure to meet with your academic advisor to discuss your potential course schedule and so they can clear you.
