If you are looking to change your schedule before the 10th day of classes has concluded, you can switch your classes using the student admin site.
You will need to fill out a student revision card if you are looking to make any changes to your schedule after the 10th day of classes. You will need to talk to your advisor and receive their signed permission before adjusting your schedule.

There are several different "holds" which you can have on your account: you can have an advising hold if you haven’t met with your advisor about the upcoming semester, you can have a bursar hold if you have failed to pay your bill, or you can have an immunization hold if you have not completed the appropriate immunization paperwork. In any instance, you will want to take action to lift your hold as soon as possible so it doesn’t prevent you from registering for classes on time.
