How to Register for Courses - Degree or Non-Degree
How to Register for Graduate Courses
After you decide what course(s) to take, you must register for the course(s) no later than one week after the first class meeting.
Please note: "Late registration” is accepted after the registration deadline, but it will cost you an extra $250 plus $50 for the bursars fee.
The registration procedure you must follow depends on your enrollment status, whether you were registered for classes last semester, and the campus at which you are enrolled.
