I'm Admitted. What's Next?

7-week classes go very fast and we want to ensure that you are ready for success on the first day of class for each term.

The Registration deadline for all 7 week classes is 1 week prior to the first day of class.  This allows you to get textbooks ordered and be ready for a successful term.
