Spring 2022 Schedule

The Spring 2022 schedule is available for students to begin planning their courses. Please see here for Spring 2022 Registration details.

Registration for Fall 2021 Module B (seven-week) courses is now open via Self-Service. If you do not need to add a Module B course, then you can ignore this message.  You will need advisor approval and you may need to re-confirm your personal information (this needs to happen roughly once per semester). Before the first day of Module B courses, Monday, October 11, you will be able to register for eligible classes on Self-Service as you have done before. If the course needs a faculty signature, you should reach out directly to the instructor. Starting Monday, October 11 and going to the add/drop deadline for Module B, Monday, “October 25, all course adds will need faculty authorization. Again, please reach out directly to the instructor to get their “add authorization.”

Effective May 21, transcript requests cannot be processed until spring semester grades are posted. This applies to ALL requests — from current students, pending graduates, and alumni.

If you have a deadline date before or near May 21, 2021, we recommend that you request your transcript(s) prior to May 21; otherwise it will be held until on or around June 2, 2021. Students wishing to have spring semester grades should indicate “Hold for Current Semester Grades” when ordering. If you do not, you may need to order a second transcript. We anticipate that these transcripts will be processed and forwarded on or around June 2.

Seniors graduating in May 2021 should select “Hold for Current Semester Grades & Degree Posted” to make sure their degree is listed on the transcript. If you do not, you may need to order a second transcript. We anticipate that these transcripts will be processed and forwarded on or around June 7, 2021, after the faculty have voted to confer degrees.

Students who are facing academic suspension or dismissal will have their transcripts held until after the process concludes, on or around June 9.

Students who are not graduating seniors may continue to order transcripts as usual, but should be aware that delivery will be delayed during this period. Please plan ahead!!
