During the orientation program you will become familiar with the University, meet the faculty and staff in your academic college, receive advising, and prepare for registration. Specific dates and important pre-arrival information are sent to you along with your Notice of Admission and visa documents. As a new student, you should plan to arrive approximately one to two weeks before the beginning of classes. Registration Complete registration instructions, procedures, and deadlines can be found in the Schedule of Classes available from the Registrar's Office after your arrival. The Schedule of Classes is available on the Web.
All registration is conducted by telephone or on the Web.
You can register for classes only after you have been officially admitted to the University and have consulted with your academic adviser. In addition, you must indicate your intended major field of study. During the course of your studies as an undergraduate, you may choose to change majors. Graduate students, by contrast, are admitted to a specific field of study and may not easily change academic departments. In particular, undergraduate students applying to the Colleges of Engineering and Pharmacy should be aware that a separate application process is required for these professional programs.
