Advisement 

After completion of your Placement Exams you can meet with your Faculty Advisor from your program of interest. (Bring your Placement Exam results and the copy of your Evaluation of Credits form that you received in your acceptance packet.)

Contact the Academic Department listed on the “Important Numbers to Know” sheet and make an appointment with an advisor to determine appropriate course to register for in the upcoming semester.

Deposit and Registration

  • After receiving your Financial Aid package and meeting with your advisor, you can pay your admissions deposit and register for courses. 

    *Admissions deposits must be paid prior to registering for courses.

  • Once you have paid your $300 deposit, the Student Accounts office will approve your registration.
  • Next you will need to submit your Registration Card to the Registrar Office, here you will receive confirmation and a copy of your Schedule.

    *Without this step you are NOT registered and your name will not appear on any class rosters.

  • Fall Registration generally begins in June and Spring registration generally begins in November.

    *Since advisement is necessary prior to registration, be sure to schedule your appointment promptly.
