General Registration Information
Introduction
The Registration website and the annual Course Offerings Guide have been prepared to assist students with making important decisions as they prepare their course of study for the coming year(s). Students are highly encouraged to consult with their counselors or appropriate advisors to ensure proper planning and registration.
Course offerings are listed in the annual Course Offerings Guide. The master schedule for the year is developed after students make their choices during registration. It is possible that some students will find that conflicts do arise and adjustments must be made to their original registration request. Advisors and counselors are available to assist students with scheduling questions and problems.
The offering of courses described in the Course Offerings Guide will be based on registration requests and staffing availability. Because a course is listed in the Course Offerings Guide, does not mean that it will automatically be offered during a given school year.
