Registration Information

There are times when a student must work through the department office to register or to change his/her registration. Clearing advising bars, adding or dropping courses, and changing the grade status of courses are just a few of the registration tasks that can be completed through the department office. Each of these tasks requires one or more forms to be completed and turned into the department office for processing. Various registration tasks are identified and departmental registration forms can be downloaded from this area.
