New Student Registration Events

These events are for accepted, first-time students only—they're designed to help you complete the steps to enrollment. If you have never attended college, then you are a first-time student. An appointment is required: Walk-ins cannot be accommodated during these events. At our open registration events, you have the opportunity to meet with an academic advisor and receive assistance enrolling in your classes. We strongly encourage you to complete your FAFSA (Free Application for Student Aid) ahead of time to help us make the best use of your time at these events.
