Priority Registration
Priority Registration for Spring and Summer 2022 is October 25-29. Students should schedule appointments with their academic advisor in their Advising Center before October 25 to be prepared to register for classes. Students can refer to the Registration Schedule to register on the first day they are eligible. Most freshmen can register on Thursday, October 28. 

Many students will have a registration hold (Major, Freshman, Academic hold) on their student record that will prevent them from registering on time. This hold will only be removed after meeting with their academic advisor to review their course selection.

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.
Spring and Summer 2022 Registration
Advising
Who is my advisor?
If you do not know who your academic advisor is, contact the Advising Center for your college. Contact the department of your major to inquire about office hours, advisor availability and to schedule an appointment with your academic advisor. If you're unable to meet during regular office hours, please inquire about alternative advising options.

Your Advising Meeting

Setting up an appointment with your Academic Advisor
It is a good idea to meet with your Academic or Faculty Advisor every semester and to schedule your appointment early in the semester.
