Students should consult them prior to registration, during academic difficulty, or when encountering schedule conflicts, remaining coursework, or impending graduation. 

Registration is completed online during the designated periods in the academic calendar, based on the study plan, prerequisite completion, section capacity, and maximum credit load. If an error occurs, capture a screenshot of the system message and consult the appropriate academic unit early. 

Academic load is determined by university bylaws, executive regulations, academic standing, and term type:
