Admissions office announces changes in fall registration dates
The admissions office has changed the fall semester registration deadline for returning students to March 21. The date has been moved forward to allow the office time to calculate the number of students who plan to return, and to make sure the correct number of new students are admitted.
Students who do not meet this deadline will have a hold placed on their registration account and may not be allowed to return for studies until spring 2004
“The goal is to ensure a quality experience for all students by carefully managing the college enrollment,” Dean of Admission and Enrollment Management Paul Long said.
Students who have any holds on their account that prevent registration should contact One Stop at ext. 7999 about how to clear them.
