Degree Students Can Now Register ~ Summer & Fall

It's time for degree students to sign up for summer & fall. Don't delay - register for those classes to ensure you reserve a seat! You can self-register (no payment due at this time) OR you can meet with an advisor if you'd like assistance in choosing your classes. Schedule appointments directly online with Chip or Deb; as well as with John via email. You can always call the office as well for assistance (596-6906). Starting next Monday (April 12) all students can register for classes.
