Registration Information

If you are graduating at the end of the Spring 2009 semester, please disregard this notice. If you are not graduating at the end of the Spring 2009 semester, please keep reading!

Registration for Summer and Fall 2009 classes will begin on Monday, March 30. Only graduating seniors can register that day; everyone else's registration dates begin later. Please check your account on RAIN to see the first dates on which you can register. In general, though, the first day of registration is based on the number of credit hours you have completed (which does not include what you're taking this semester):

Students Graduating Summer or Fall 09 March 30
Seniors (90 hours or more) April 1
Juniors (60 hours or more) April 3
Sophomores (30 hours or more) April 7
Freshmen (fewer than 30 hours) April 9

As in previous semesters, you may register yourself if you have no holds on your record. Please check on RAIN to make sure you do not have any holds. If you have an "advisor hold", that means that you need to consult with me prior to registration. However, I encourage EVERYONE to consult with me prior to registration even if it's not required. This semester I am not scheduling individual appointments, but rather making myself available at different times on a first-come, first-serve basis. If you come at a time outside of those available time slots, I can't guarantee that I'll be able to meet with you. I will be available for registration assistance from 8:00-11:00 a.m. on the following dates:

March 31
April 1
April 2
April 3
April 7
April 8
April 9
April 10

If those times are impossible for you, please let me know and we can schedule a specific appointment at another time.

If you are not planning to come in the summer, that's fine; there's nothing special you need to do. If you are planning to take classes in the fall, I strongly encourage you to register now so you'll have the best selection of classes and won't space out on registering and then risk having to pay a late fee later. If you are taking summer classes here, please note that there are several summer terms. You may take classes in any combination of those terms as long as the times don't overlap. However, I recommend that you not take any more than two classes at one time -- for example, one class that meets in the full term and one class that meets in the first summer half session -- and that you only take one Maymester class if you take one at all.

Please let me know if you have any questions.
