Register for Classes
Students will discover that registering for classes at HGST is an easy process when following a few simple guidelines:
2. Select required courses first and then consider elective courses, taking care to note prerequisite requirements. Course descriptions can be found in the 2010-2011 Academic Catalog beginning on page 47.
3. Set up an appointment with the assigned faculty advisor to complete the Registration Form.
4. Take the completed Registration Form to the Office of the Registrar for review and signature.
5. Complete a Financial Charges Form. Enrollment is not finalized until satisfactory arrangement for full payment is made with the business office prior to the first day of classes. Students with outstanding account balances from previous semesters will not be allowed to register for classes.
