Registration is the process of adding or removing classes from your personalized schedule. Registration is time sensitive so it’s important you prepare and plan
your course selection ahead of time.
-
Registration Revision Period (Add and Drop period)
-
During the registration revision period, you can ‘add and drop’ courses, making changes to your timetable without academic or financial penalty.

Courses dropped during this period are not recorded on official transcripts or student records, and tuition charges will be reversed for dropped courses.

Once the registration revision period ends, you can still Voluntarily Withdraw (VW) from a class, however, it will be recorded on your transcript, and
you will not receive a tuition refund.

If you need permission to register for a course, contact
your advising office before your registration time to avoid registration errors and delays.

Waitlists
