Registering: New Degree Students

All new freshman and transfer students must have a $200 enrollment deposit on account 24 hours prior to being eligible to register for summer or fall courses. Attendance at an orientation session is mandatory to maintain your registration eligibility for the fall semester. Orientation is required of all new degree-seeking students even if you previously took courses on campus through Continuing Education.
