Registration Schedule
Dates and times
Students are expected to register for classes that meet their own academic programs. Enrolling in courses to “save” them for another student is prohibited.
To determine the day and time you are allowed to register, add the total degree credit hours earned on your Central Michigan University transcript (does not include classes beginning with "0" i.e. 099, 055, etc.), plus your CMU credit hours currently in progress.
For new transfer credits to be considered in this total an official transcript that has been mailed directly from the issuing institution must be received by the CMU Registrar's Office at least two weeks before your registration time. Credits currently enrolled at other colleges/universities will not be considered toward the determination of hours for your registration time.
Central Michigan University offers the earliest registration times to all active military personnel, certified veterans, and those deemed eligible for VA benefits by the Dept. Veteran Affairs. Central Michigan University also reserves the right to permit other approved student populations earlier registration times as designated.
