Registering for Classes

Home / Registration / Registering for Classes
What does it mean to "register" for classes? That's just a fancy word for enrolling. At 海角论坛, we use registration, enrollment and adding classes interchangeably.

When you register for a class, you are obligated to pay for that class unless you take action to drop it during the 100% refund period. For more information about fees, see the Cashiers Office Statement of Financial Responsibility.

Registration Timeline and Appointments

There are specific start and end dates for registration. Currently enrolled students receive a "priority registration start date" when they can first begin registering for upcoming semesters. Students will be e-mailed their registration appointment time or they may look up their registration appointment time on Pathway two to three weeks before registration begins. Student should seek academic advising prior to their registration appointment time.

All other students must wait for "open registration." For specific dates, see the Academic Calendar or Registration and Drop date schedule.

Note: Beginning Spring 2020, a fee of $250 will be charged to students who register after midnight of the 5th day of classes for term (which coincides with the 100% tuition reassessment deadline for the regular session). See the Cashiers Tuition and Fees website for more fee information.

Registration appointment times are assigned based on level and credit hours for undergraduate students and based on credit hours and GPA for graduate and professional students.  

  • Level: Seniors assigned before Juniors, see
  • Credit Hours: For students with the same level, those with more credit hours will register before those with fewer credit hours
  • GPA: Students with the same number of credit hours will be ranked so that those with higher GPA’s register before those with lower GPA
