      • Last day to withdraw from courses is Wednesday, May 24.

        If you waitlisted for an Autumn Quarter course, it is a good idea to schedule a placeholder class at this point, to maintain full-time enrollment status.

        New student for Autumn Quarter? Information on New Student Advising for Autumn Quarter 2023 can be found here.

        In honor of Memorial Day, Monday, May 29, daytime classes will not be held. Offices will also be closed. Evening classes will still meet.
