New Student Registration
An important milestone in the new student journey.
During New Student Registration, you’ll have an appointment with an academic advisor, schedule your first semester of classes, and learn more about your academic college. Your academic advising appointment will be held with the College of your primary major. In addition to the academic advising appointment, you will be asked to complete an online New Student Registration course in Canvas.
Timeline
The New Student Registration process for incoming fall undergraduate students will open in April 2026. New Student Registration appointments for incoming fall 2026 students will be offered April–July 2026, and are conducted remotely by phone or Zoom. For incoming spring undergraduate students, New Student Registration will open in November 2025.
Placement exams
Completing placement exams is a required task for New Student Registration and for enrollment. Students will receive access to their required exams after paying the $500 enrollment deposit. Results are for placement purposes only, and our academic advisors will share them with students during the academic advising appointment when discussing appropriate courses to fit the student’s academic plan.
Placement exams become available to incoming students in early November. Students who finish the required placement exams by December 1 will then move through the New Student Registration process. In general, we recommend completing placement exams as soon as possible after gaining access to ensure an efficient advising process.
Placement exams become available to incoming students in early February. Students who finish the required placement exams by April 1 will be included in the first group to move through the New Student Registration process. In general, we recommend completing placement exams within two weeks of gaining access to ensure an efficient advising process.
Pay Your Enrollment Deposit
Students who submit the $500 enrollment deposit and have completed all required placement exams will have access to the New Student Registration process beginning April 2026.
