Registration for the summer 2023 and fall 2023 terms begins soon. The Schedule of Classes and your Shopping Cart are available online beginning Wednesday, March 1, 2023.

The Shopping Cart will help you to:

• Plan Ahead. Choose and place classes in your Shopping Cart – before your enrollment appointment– to make the day of registration easier and less stressful because you have pre-selected classes to choose from.
• Check enrollment eligibility. Once a class is added to your Shopping Cart, you can validate if you meet the enrollment requirements for that class. If you do not, you’ll have time to determine the issue, or seek advice from your academic advisor.
• Be prepared. Have alternative classes chosen and placed in your Shopping Cart in case your first-choice classes are not available.

Your enrollment appointment will be available to you the week of March 24 in UAccess. This will tell you the exact date and time that you will be eligible to self-enroll in classes in UAccess Student. Visit the Dates and Deadlines Calendar for more information on the upcoming registration schedule.

If you are transferring credits from another college or university, check your list of Transfer Credits to ensure all credits are included, or if you need to order and submit transcripts. Because it can take up to two weeks to evaluate transfer credits, transcripts must be submitted by Tuesday, March 7, 2023, for the credits to be considered when assigning your enrollment appointment. Once enrollment appointments are assigned, they will not be changed.

Contact your academic advisor if you need assistance selecting classes for the upcoming term and visit our How to Register website for more information, including tutorials, on the registration process.

Appointments can be scheduled with your assigned advisor or you can search all Psychology advisor availability via Trellis.
