How to Register for Courses
After registration closes, you’ll need to complete an add/drop form and submit it to the University to request any course enrollment changes. Please note that dropping a course after the allowable period (as specified in the academic calendar) may result in financial implications. Be sure to review the academic calendar for all deadlines.
