With Wave 1 of Spring 2025 registration in full swing, many upperclassmen may feel as if they have a handle on their course schedules for the upcoming semester. With many underclassmen and lower credit hour students still yet to register however, and Wave 2 of registration right around the corner, others may still be confused and worried about what their schedule will look like next semester. Here are some registration reminders and options for COMM students.
Wave 1 of registration, where students can register for up to 13 credit hours, will conclude on November 1st at 11:59 p.m. On November 4, Wave 2 will begin for priority registration, and continue with lower credit hour students on each proceeding day through November 14 at 11:59 p.m. Students will be able to register for up to 17 credit hours in this wave. Open Enrollment begins for all students at 12:00 a.m. on November 15.
