Last Reminder to Register for the Fall Term
If you haven’t already done so, you need to register for the fall term as soon as possible. (Late payment charges and late registration charges are already in effect.) If you have conditions on your admission, this will prevent you from registering. If this is the case, we recommend that you provide the necessary documentation as soon as possible, so that you can register.
