"And again, Isaiah says,
"The Root of Jesse will spring up,
one who will arise to rule over the nations;
in him the Gentiles will hope."
May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit."
- Romans 15:12-13

It's registration season! Here are a few things to consider as you get ready to register:
- Now is a good time to check in with your advisor to talk about your program, your experiences here at Leland, and which courses might best fit in the coming terms.
- Take time to plan financially for the coming term. Of course, all past-due balances must be paid off in order to register. However, you can also proactively reduce your tuition bill for next term by taking advantage of the early bird registration discount (register and pay by December 15) and the Leland Scholarship application (due December 1).
