Academic Student Information

Academic Registration Begins Soon

• If you need an entry code to register for a class, please come to the IP office
• You may have a block on your registration if you owe any outstanding tuition balances or fines (library, bookstore, etc.). Please pay these balances before May 5th to avoid delays in your registration! Bring any receipts to the IP office once you have paid the balances so we can remove your registration block.
