Maintain Full-time Enrollment and Prepare for Registration!

The last day to withdraw from a full-semester course is October 25. If you decide to withdraw from any full-semester courses at this time, there will be a “W” grade for the class on your transcript. The deadline to add late six-week sprint classes has already passed, so you will not be able to add any more courses this semester. Please do not withdraw from a course if you will be below Enrollment Requirements. If unsure what to do, talk to ISSS advising.

Spring 2022 registration will open next week. Review when and how to register and other registration tips. Make sure to resolve any registration holds and meet with your academic advisor to discuss course options if you have questions for the upcoming semester.
