Before registering, please review your uAchieve Degree Audit to ensure that all transfer courses and credit hours are accurately reflected. If you notice any discrepancies, contact your advisor for assistance.
We strongly encourage you to register for classes as soon as possible, ideally before your first advising appointment. Early registration helps ensure the best course availability and gives your advisor a clearer understanding of your planned schedule.
