Guide for the Perplexed

Even after you’ve finished coursework, you still need to register for each semester so that the university can maintain your enrollment. You also need to fill out a form to ensure that you’re counted as a full-time student. This process will help avoid disruptions to your funding and any student loan deferments. Follow the instructions below to complete this process.

Completing Registration

2. Select the Student Registration icon. The select Manage Your Registration.
3. Select Register for Classes. Then select the appropriate term for your registration.
4. Register for the course that corresponds with your current stage in the program.

5. In addition to the course above, register for any of the options below if they apply to you. The university uses registration records to allocate funding and resources to the department, so it helps the department and its students when you register for all courses that apply to your situation. Furthermore, the Department Placement Coordinator has the discretion to decline to work with students who have not registered for the Professional Development Seminar:
