How do I enroll in classes?

• Your earliest opportunity to enroll in classes is the Bear Tracks program (the online enrollment system will not be open for transfer student enrollment until Bear Tracks). When you attend Bear Tracks, you’ll learn how to use the online system, meet with academic advisors and the Associate Dean of your college, and you’ll register for classes using our online system. If you don’t attend Bear Tracks, you’ll be able to register during the general makeup registration period in late September (the classes you want may be filled, so it is advisable to attend Bear Tracks so you have a better chance of enrolling in the classes you want).

Do I need to take placement exams?

• You may not have to.
