Office of the Registrar
The Office of the Registrar assists students to ensure they stay on track to degree requirements. Registrar staff can help you drop or add classes, change your major, and apply for graduation.
The Office of the Registrar is located in the Hewes Library as part of the ACE— Academic and Career Excellence— which also houses the Office of Global Engagement, the Office Student Success and Accessibility Services, and the Wackerle Center for Career, Leadership & Fellowships.
We love our study spaces all over campus. Whether in the Center for Science and Business or under a tall maple tree there is always a place to find your space.
Students work closely with their faculty advisors to explore majors, select courses and stay on track for graduation.
We’ll help you stay on track to graduation
Every student has a faculty academic advisor to help guide them through core curriculum and major requirements, but the Registrar’s Office can also help students get stay on track to graduation by answering questions, applying transfer credit and helping students add or change majors and advisors.

- How do I register for classes?
A few weeks before registration opens for a new semester, students will receive a time and date after which they will be eligible to register. Before you can register, you must receive registration clearance from your advisor, so be sure you’ve met or talked with them in advance of your assigned time. Course registration happens online. Be sure to review the course schedule in advance to decide what classes you plan to take.
