Hi all,
Registration for Fall and Winter terms opens July 21.
Before you can register yourself, you have to complete the appropriate registration approval form - attached.
Please return the signed form to me and I'll remove the hold that prevents you from registering without having your courses approved.
If your progress report was submitted after June 1 you will likely still have a progress report hold on your record that will also prevent you from registering. You'll have to keep checking for this hold to be removed.
Please don't hesitate to contact me if you have any questions.
Best regards,
Martha
