Today is last day for students to enter Spring classes without signatures
Today, Jan. 25, is the last day Spring Semester students may register in MyServices for a class that has open spaces without obtaining an instructor's signature or other special permission.
- Instructors should be alert to possible additions to class rosters.
- The change in first-week registration procedures, which has been in effect for several semesters, provides additional flexibility for students in "staying on track" despite disruptions caused by the current environment.
Faculty members with questions about the status of their class roster should check with their division dean.
