Pre-registration Calendaring Protocol <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The following semester week formula determines key pre-registration dates for each term. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Course Request Form (CRF) opens <\/td>Monday of Week 1 <\/td><\/tr>
CRF closes <\/td>Monday of Week 13*; eight business days before open registration<\/td><\/tr>
Override requests due <\/td>Tuesday of Week 13* at 5 p.m.; one business day after CRF closes<\/td><\/tr>
Student schedules released <\/td>Thursday of Week 14; two weeks before finals<\/td><\/tr>
Bursar processing day <\/td>Friday of Week 14 <\/td><\/tr>
Open registration begins <\/td>Monday of Week 15 <\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

* <\/em>During the fall semester, the CRF closing date and override deadlines depend on the timing of the university’s two-day Thanksgiving holiday. The Pre-registration team requires eight business days to complete batch processing, and advisors need one business day for workflow approvals after the CRF closes \u2014 a total of nine business days before schedules are released. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n
