Priority registration is not an automatic process. You must request priority registration prior to the start of the registration period by submitting a copy of your military ID (CAC), DD214, NGB 22, or NOBE (DD2384) to the Veterans Resource Center located in Building 1900, Room 1902.

  • Special Admit students are not eligible for priority registration

Throughout the registration process (including class petitioning), certain deadlines have been established. These deadlines are necessary in order to comply with State attendance laws and must be followed by all faculty and students. Failure to comply with these deadlines may result in the student not being allowed to attend or receive credit for the class.
