<p>ok so i figured out WHEN to register...july 27 i believe</p>
<p>BUT do I really have to register for both fall and winter semesters on that date?</p>
<p>No, it’s when registration opens. You’ll have until the end of the add drop period (the first 2 weeks of each semester) to register for courses, but you do want to have something before the semester starts (tuition depends on the number of courses taken, and you need to be enrolled in 12 credits’ worth of courses to be considered a full-time student), especially for courses with limited enrollment. So don’t wait to register for courses you want or think you’ll want to take, after that you’ll have plenty of time to make changes.</p>
<p>Yes, while you don’t have to register for both semesters on July 27, I think it’s better to register for both semesters and then add or drop courses later because you want get into a class before it fills up (or drop it later if you don’t like it). Then again, don’t be too nervous about getting into courses because people do drop courses in the very first weeks of semesters.</p>
