FAQ

The calendar says Spring registration starts on Monday Nov 20. Can I start registering for classes then?

Under the new UDSIS, you go into enrollment, then "Registration Appointment" for when you are allowed to register for classes. The order is Grad. students, then Sr-Jr-Soph-Fresh-Con.Ed.

This is not an "appointment" that you have to keep with a person---consider it, instead, an "appointment" with your computer! Given that classes are first come, first served, and registration is "immediate", it is an appointment that you probably want to be sure to keep. The staggered dates is the new way of giving priority based on seniority.

When will the printed course registration book come out?

From what we understand, never again. It is all online now. Go to the Registrar Web Site and you'll find a PDF file with the information you are looking for.

Where are the "supplemental course descriptions" for topics classses?

At a separate link on the same site.
