"It is important to register early because classes close and students, especially juniors and seniors, must go find waivers or may have their graduation prolonged," David Villalba, student support specialist in the Registration and Records Office, said.
Priority early registration begins today and continues through April 29. Each classification is assigned different registration dates. Graduate and doctoral students can continue to register throughout the month, while seniors have until April 8. Juniors have from April 7-15, sophomores April 15-22 and freshmen April 22-29.
Registration for all classifications starts May 5 and runs through Aug. 20. The final day for late registration Aug. 28.
Students may register online through Goldmine at my.utep.edu, by telephone by calling 545-1145 or through walk-in registration at the Academic Services Building.
Students who wait until the last minute to register often have trouble finding classes they need at the most convenient times for them. Upper-division classes typically have less space than basic freshmen and sophomore classes and fill quickly.
"Science and engineering students have an especially hard time with all the labs they have to take," Villalba said. "Lab schedules don't mix or are already closed."
Registration for summer 2008 begins today and runs until June 2 for the first four-week summer semester, as well as the full eight-week term, which begins June 9. Registration for the second four-week summer semester continues through July 7. Although many students would like to get ahead, summer classes do not typically get as filled as fall and spring classes, Villalba said.
Before registering, some students must also see their advisor before registering for classes.
Depending on the major, students must either seek academic advising from their college or from advisors at the Academic Advising Center.
