Students who have not registered for at least one (1) credit hour prior to 12:00 am EDT on Monday, May 15, will be charged a $100 late registration fee. Questions about tuition and fees must be addressed to Student Business Services.
Schedules are final, and students are both grade and fee liable for any courses on their schedule after drop/add ends.
If you receive an error message (a red X) when attempting to register, the course may be reserved for students in specific programs. You must contact the academic department that teaches that course with any questions.
You can check many of your remaining requirements or course needs by reviewing your Academic Requirements Report through Student Center. Previous advising reports can also be found in Campus Connect.
Academic advising during Summer 2023
The Summer 2023 semester will have adjusted advising availability, both during the week of drop/add and over the course of the rest of the semester. These adjustments are designed to offer the most flexibility to current students while advisors also participate in new student orientation and other Summer processes.
During the week of May 15-19 (covering Summer A/C drop/add)
All COSSPP advising services will be available via a moderated open Zoom call. Due to time and space constraints, there are no in person drop-ins or scheduled appointments.
