 Spring RegistrationSpring Registration is going on now! Skip the lines in January and register for classes before you go home for the holidays.
Starting with registration for spring semester 2015, you are required to make payment arrangements at the time of registration. You can still register either within your department, with your faculty advisor or on WebAdvisor.
However, within three business days of registering, you must visit the Cashier's Office in the Student Services Concourse in Light Hall or at the Logan or Perry Campus to sign the Registration Terms & Conditions/Student Financial Responsibility Agreement and review your financial arrangements. If you do not do this within three business days, your schedule will be dropped, and you will need to begin the registration process again.
