Undergraduate Advising: Preparing for Registration

** When Can I Register for Classes?
Check on TESTUDO for your scheduled registration appointment and time. Note that registration appointment times are based on total applicable credits. Seniors register first, followed by juniors, sophomores, and freshmen respectively. All students should see their appropriate advisor(s) approximately two weeks prior to your registration date. Verify on TESTUDO under Appointments and Registration Status to see if you have any registration blocks that could prevent you from registering and resolve them as soon as possible.
