    Registration for Summer 2024 begins on March 20th. For Fall 2024, check the online Time Assignment Chart for registration details.

    All registration is done via Wingspan, under the Student tab, Registration menu, then select Registration.

    You may make changes to your schedule until the end of the add/drop period.

    If you miss your scheduled time, you may register any time after that time until the end of add/drop

    All degree-seeking students must meet with an advisor prior to registration for fall or spring semesters. If you do not get advised, you will not be able to register. Your advisor must confirm your advising through their Wingspan account. Advising is not required to register for summer session courses.

    You will need to get the permission of the appropriate Department Chair. Click here for the override request site.

    If you are an undergraduate student and have a cumulative 3.0 GPA at the end of the semester, you may register for up to 21 hours. If you do not have a 3.0, you must file an undergraduate petition (pdf file). Students who are in their last semester prior to graduation may obtain permission from their dean to overload. Graduate students must have the approval of their academic dean. The overload form can be found here.

    Students who do not pay their fees or make payment arrangements through the Cashier's office are subject to having their schedules dropped.  For more information, visit the  Cashier's office website.
