Important Registration and Class Start Dates

Each year in late March, we’re excited to offer our newly admitted and current students the opportunity to register for three semesters at one time:

  • Spring/Summer (May–Aug)
  • Fall (Aug–Dec)
  • Winter (Jan–May)

The charts below will help you view important dates for those semesters, including application, registration, payment and class-start dates. Explore an admissions event, hosted by our Admissions & Outreach Office, to help you get started!

Our classes are offered in multiple class formats each semester to best meet your needs.
