Counselors

Classes are determined based on student course selections from Spring registrations. Students who receive the courses they requested will not be allowed to change their schedule.

Corrections will be considered only if a student: has an incomplete schedule, lacks a graduation or college requirement, has a prior failure in the course sequence, has already earned credit for the class, or is academically misplaced. Five days after the beginning of the semester, student schedules will be considered permanent.

Counselors are available to make schedule corrections during August Back to School week according to your last name per the schedule listed above.

NEW ENROLLMENTS
Complete pre-registration via the New Student Enrollment Portal and the counseling office will contact you to schedule an appointment.
Note: NEW ENROLLMENTS ARE BY APPOINTMENT ONLY.
