Getting Ready for Registration 3
Dear 2nd Year Creative Producers,
Be sure to use some time prior to December 1 to think about your spring schedule and what balance of courses will work best for you in your time zone. Early registration for the Spring 2021 term will take place Dec 1-11, 2020. We are making updates to spring courses daily and will have all confirmed information posted by December 1. Please also check SSOL for holds on your account and try to get them resolved before registration opens on 12/1. Remember that registration is a weeks long process and that you will have additional registration appointments in January to revise your registration. Enrollment in courses will fluctuate, so it pays to keep an eye on any courses you are interested in, as seats frequently do become available. This is your final semester taking courses for credit, so make sure you will complete a minimum of 60 credits by the end of this academic year.
Make sure that you have completed all of your requirements (i.e, you must fulfill the requirements for your concentration; you must take a Film & Media Studies course) and that you are registered for at least 12 credits, but no more than 18 credits. You must have completed 60 credits by the end of the Spring 2021 semester, so please check your grades on SSOL to make sure you are on track to do this.
