PennWest students register for classes well in advance. In the midst of one semester, you'll hear, "It's time to register for next semester's classes!"
Even if it seems like the next semester is a long way off, it's important to register on your assigned day. Timely registration maximizes your ability to register for the classes you need.
You also will see whether any "holds" have been placed on your registration. If a hold is present, you must contact the office that placed the hold on your account and make arrangements to clear it before you can register.
