New incoming students starting in fall semester will enroll in classes during July and August. New incoming students starting in the spring semester will enroll in classes November through January.
Registration Process
Step 1: Complete the Online Experience
Check your Buff Portal several days before your assigned enrollment window to see if you have any holds that may interfere with your registration.
Step 2: Complete Placement Tests
You are encouraged to complete placement assessments as soon as possible. Not all assessments may be required for you, so please check with your academic advisor if you have questions about which assessments you will need to complete.
Step 3: Check holds and to-dos
A hold prevents you from taking some kind of action. Clear any registration holds before your enrollment dates begin.
Step 4: Connect with PES Advising
Academic advisors help make sure you are on track to meet your academic goals. They can show you how to run a degree audit and discuss what courses you can take to fill degree requirements and explore majors of interest. Information on how to connect with your PES Academic advising team can be found below under "Plan Ahead".
Step 5: Confirm enrollment dates
Your enrollment date is the specific date when you can start registering for classes. After completing the Enrolling in Classes module in the Online Experience, incoming students can register Nov. 28, 2022-Jan. 10, 2023.
Step 6: Search for classes
You can place courses in your shopping cart in advance of your enrollment date to help plan your schedule.
Step 7: Register for classes
Once you complete these steps, you will be able to register for your selected classes! Be sure to begin enrolling in classes as soon as your enrollment window opens. Doing so will give you the best chance to secure your preferred courses and class times.
