Advising And Registration
Registering for classes is a simple and straightforward process as long as you are prepared. Students may register for classes from their appointed time through their drop/add date listed on the academic calendar.
Students' assigned start time for registration may depend on their level (undergraduate or graduate), their degree program, and their earned semester credits plus credits in progress.
Main Campus students must register for and/or drop AVF and ESL courses at the registrar's office in L3Harris Commons.
Clear Holds
All academic, financial and administrative holds that prevent registration must be cleared through the respective office(s) before a student is given access to register. Holds may be viewed in PAWS.
Online Courses
Courses that our available through Florida Tech Online, courses offered in 8-week terms, the 2 YR Course Projection 12.01.2024 can be reviewed to assist in planning your degree.
Advising
All students must be advised prior to registration. How students are advised may depend on their student type (undergraduate or graduate), or modality (on-campus or online).
