Class Schedules and Registration:

The Records Office works with the Division Deans and the Division of Life Long Learning to develop the class schedule for each semester. Registration for the Fall terms begin in April; the Summer terms in April; the Spring terms in November. Go to WebConnect.

Assigning Advisors

All day students are assigned an advisor who is a member of the faculty or professional staff. The staff of the advising center also acts as an academic advisor for many day and all evening students. Students wishing to change their advisor should contact the Records Office.

Degree Audit Review and Graduation Processing

Student’s intending to graduate must complete a Petition to Graduate no later than March 1 for May and August graduation, and by November 1 for December graduation.

Once a petition is received a degree audit will be run and the student notified of outstanding requirements, if any. Many times course substitutions can be approved by the Division Dean, and transfer credit accepted to meet the graduation requirements. Download Petition to Graduate (PDF)
