Recent questions

I have an approved petition but didn't enroll in the course by April 17th. Can I still enroll?

Students can update their schedule during the open add/drop period beginning August 19th. If you have an approved petition for a course and there are still seats available, you may enroll as long as you don't have any holds or time conflicts. Please keep in mind that instructors now have the ability to cancel approved petitions. You will receive an email notification if your petition has been cancelled.

I took a cross-registered course in a prior term and would like for it to count towards my concentration credit. Will this count towards my GPA?

The Registrar's office will process Concentration Credit Petition for Cross-Registered courses forms until June 30, 2024 while the current policy is still active (your cross-registered course will count towards your GPA). After July 1, 2024, the new policy will be in effect and we will no longer process these forms. No previously cross-registered course will count towards GPA.
