You will be registering for your classes on the date that you signed up for on the Arts Registration Survey, June 22 or 23.

Students MUST complete the survey before their advising hold is lifted.

Sessions are for incoming students only. Guests will not be permitted into either the in-person and the virtual session. As much as we appreciate (and support) assistance from family and friends on your academic journey, we would like to use this short amount of time to establish the advisor and student relationship, especially when discussing academic requirements and registering for the first time.
