Emails sent prior to the first day of class will not be accepted. 

  • Exceptions: TR Students are permitted to register beginning the first day of online registration if they fall into one of the following two categories:

    • Students enrolling for classes abroad

Any TR students who do not fall into these two categories will be dropped from their class and notified by email.

    • Maximum of 4 units in a 3-week session.
