Welcome to the Registrar's Office

Our purpose is to implement effective, reliable, user-friendly services that contribute to the attraction, retention, and graduation of a highly diverse student body. In addition, we are committed to providing all of our constituents (students, faculty, university administrators, or interested parties) with resources that empower them to accomplish their objectives.
