Important Registration Notes

Each credit for which you register, your Student Account will be charged the current tuition and fee rate.

It is very important for you to attend class beginning the first day.

Non-attendance and non-payment does not withdraw you from your course(s). If you no longer wish to take the course(s) for which you have registered, you must officially withdraw from the course to avoid being charged.

You must attend class to receive your financial aid award and disbursement. If you are reported as not attending, the course credit hours cannot be included in your financial aid award package. The lesser number of credits may reduce the amount of financial aid you are eligible to receive and your award package will be adjusted accordingly.
