Summer term planning
Get Ready to Register for Summer
Get Ready to Register for Summer introduces you to the Summer Term Planning Guide- the main tool you'll use to choose your courses.
Because Summer Term courses move at a faster pace than regular sessions, it's important to be thoughtful about how many courses you take and how they fit in with your overall degree plan.
This session is designed to help you feel confident in planning your schedule and choosing courses that align with your goals. By the end of this session, you'll know what to expect and feel ready to register for the Summer Term.
