Enrollment Date Table

Understanding Your Enrollment Date & Time 

Continuing students are granted access to course enrollment each semester at a specific date and time. Enrollment dates span 2-3 weeks and are ordered according to criteria established by the University. These criteria include, but is not limited to, distance to graduation (i.e., number of units remaining to graduate) and special consideration status (e.g., veteran).

During the early enrollment period, 16,000 students enroll over about 10 days.  Due to the high volume, the University will not consider requests for changes to your assigned enrollment date.
