Important Notice for all Students
Students are responsible for being aware of all regulations and deadlines as published in the eCalendar.
Minerva does not necessarily prevent students from registering for courses that they should not take. It is the student's responsibility to be aware of prerequisites, co-requisites, restrictions, and faculty regulations that apply to the courses in which they register.
Students are urged to register for both the fall and winter semesters as soon as registration opens.
