Why Register Early

Registering early gives you the best chance to:

  • Get the classes, sections and instructors you want. Waiting too long can mean your first-choice classes fill up.
  • Choose the schedule that fits your work, activities and life. Early registration means you’ll have more flexibility in building a timetable that works.
  • Registering in a timely manner helps you avoid long waits for advisement and registration — and stress.
  • Stay on track to graduate on time. Some required classes are limited in offering — registering early helps ensure you secure the ones you need when you need them.
  • Early registration gives you time to resolve holds,  schedule conflicts or financial aid questions before the rush begins.
  • Have more time to plan and prepare. Registering early leads to better preparation and less last-minute scrambling.
