Fall Registration and Writing Courses
Fall Registration: Fall 2012 registration is coming soon. Register early to get the classes that you want! Be sure to make an appointment
with your advisor well before your registration date. Faculty will not just hand out registration codes. You need to discuss your plans
with them, so be sure to contact them in advance to make an appointment. Please bring your degree evaluation analysis with you when you go
to see your faculty advisor – it will help you and them to properly plan.
Remember to sign up for registration advising. You cannot get your code unless you meet with your advisor.
**Think about making a four year plan so that you can graduate on time!
