You must complete acadamic advising to clear your registration hold. This advising will be virtual and either a group advising session or one-on-one with an advisor. Registration will open in November.

  • General Education program
  • Math Assessment
  • Language requirement and proficiency/placement testing options
  • Recommended courses
  • Registration process, including a step-by-step guide of how to use your Student Center to register for classes. 

A New Student Advising Hold will be placed on your account before registration opens and will not be removed until you have completed this requirement.
