How to register

Help choosing classes

New students: if you’re making decisions about your first term classes, see our help page: plan your first term.

Current students: for help with long-term plans, make an appointment with your assigned advisor.

Most students can register for classes beginning about 6 weeks before the term starts: see when to register.

Before you register, you can check to make sure your account is ready to register.
