New students are advised to consult the College website frequently to find the latest information about information sessions, orientations, and class schedules. Registration for courses occurs several weeks before classes begin. New students are required to attend orientation. At orientation, students are counseled about the various policies and procedures that are deemed critical to their studies and educational success. There is also an opportunity to meet key administrative staff who will be involved in the students’ education.

Students are advised to review program requirements and consult their academic advisor several weeks in advance of the semester’s start. The schedule of courses for each semester can be found on the College’s portal (https://portal.urbancollege.edu/GENSRsC.cfm).

• Each semester, students can choose to be full-time or part-time. Full-time is defined as a course load of 12 or more credits (four 3-credit courses).
• To register for English and Math classes, students must first participate in a one-time layered intake assessment.

Students must resolve any financial hold(s) on their Urban College student account before they can register for a class at Urban.
