As they transition to the new process, they are recommending that students register and pay for credits at least one month prior to needing their transcripts. They are adding new courses to their registration page daily and plan to have all courses added for the Fall 2024 semester within the next month. If you don’t see the course you are registering for, please check back again frequently. Thank you for your patience as they make this transition!
