Fall Class Registration

Good morning, everyone!

For those of you who are beginning to think about what classes you'd like to take next semester, you'll want to know that the Fall 2011 class schedule will be available on SeaNet starting on April 11.

Prior to preregistration, all students visit academic advisors and receive special instructions and preregistration information. Students submit a course program at an appointed time through the self-service registration system in SeaNet. Students who complete preregistration and pay fees by the designated date are registered, except in the event that they are declared academically ineligible, at the end of the preceding semester.

If you have any questions, we suggest you visit the Registrar's Office in James Hall (next to Trask) between 8:00 am and 4:30 pm Monday-Friday.

Until next time...
