Fall semester general registration has been re-scheduled. Registration for the fall semester will open on Monday, April 2, and end on Sunday, April 15. Because of this adjustment, summer 2012 and fall 2012 registration will be held concurrently to ensure that registration activity will be completed prior to the end of the Spring 2012 semester and before May 2012 graduation clearance. The course schedule for both terms will be available for review via Bison Web on Monday, March 13.  

Thank you in advance for your patience and cooperation.
