Prepare Your Class Schedule

You will be able to start reviewing class options about a month prior to the registration system opening. This is the time to start looking at your options and building your schedule. We recommend doing this prior to meeting with your Academic Advisor and Planner and at the latest, prior to your registration day. Going through this process will help you think of questions when meeting with your advisor and can help speed up your registration process when the system opens for you.

Please note: Preparing a shopping cart prior to registration opening does not guarantee there will be an opening in the class when you are able to register.
