Priority Registration
Priority Registration for Spring and Summer 2023 is October 24-28. Students should schedule appointments with their academic advisor in their Advising Center before October 24 to prepare to register for classes. Students can refer to the Registration Schedule on the first day they are eligible. Most freshmen can register on Thursday, October 27. 

Many students will have a registration hold (Major, Freshman, Academic hold) on their student record, preventing them from registering on time. After meeting with their academic advisor to review course selections, this hold will be removed.

Students are encouraged to meet with their advisor early and register at their earliest opportunity. If you cannot register on your assigned day, you may do so on any subsequent Priority Registration day.
