Freshman Schedules

Resources for Incoming Freshmen

Engineering student's schedules are pre-selected by the Registrar's Office. You will not be asked to register for courses.  However, through the Freshman Online site mentioned above, you will be asked to complete a Course Selection questionnaire in order for the Registrar's Office to complete your schedule should your situation include ROTC, athletics, AP credit, etc. Please note that schedules are apt to change throughout the Summer, and will not be available nor considered final until mid August .

You are strongly encouraged to view your schedule at that time for conflicts due to ROTC, Athletics, AP Credits, Learning Communities, and/or Honors courses.
