Registration
Online registration is now available up to Friday before classes begin. Students are encouraged to registrar early, as class and day selections become limited very quickly.
Students admitted to graduate study are encouraged to select courses during convenient early registration periods. Students who miss the early registration periods may register in person on specified times immediately preceding the start of each semester.
After beginning to take graduate courses, students may not take undergraduate business courses to meet core business course requirements.
