Advising & Registration
The Academic Advising & Registration Office assists with course selection, personal and educational goal planning, registration for courses, requests for transcripts, guest or non-matriculating student enrollment, verification of enrollment and graduation/course completion, and name and address changes.
Registration (enrolling in classes) for the fall semester begins during the winter semester, usually in late March (check the online Academic Calendar for exact dates.) Winter registration generally begins the second week of November.
The procedures for registering are outlined in the online Course Schedule on Blackboard, which should be consulted before beginning the registration process. All students are encouraged to meet with their academic advisor before registering. (Complete course descriptions and updated academic policies can be found in the CCS Catalog on Blackboard.)
The Academic Advising & Registration Office also responds to requests for transcripts and verification of enrollment/graduation/course completion as well as keeping track of name and address changes for all enrolled students. If you want to enroll as a non-matriculating guest student, contact us at 313.664.7672.
