All new Titans are strongly encouraged to sign-up for a virtual advising & registration session before registering for classes. Your academic advisement is delivered during these sessions. If you choose to register for your courses before your advising session date, please bring your selected list of courses to your advising session so that an advisor can review it for you.

Transfer student registration opens June 14.  First-year (freshman) student registration opens June 21. Check your Student Center for your registration date.
