The registration timetable will let you know when you will first be able to register for courses. Before you can register, you will meet with your advisor to talk about your plans. Your advisor will release your advising number (or "alternate pin"), which you will use to register.
Before your advising appointment, look into the courses you might want to take using the course search. Also, be sure to look over your Degree Works account (Cyberbear/Student Services) to become familiar with your degree requirements.
