Late Registration

Late registration for all courses and TECEP® exams will take place following the close of regular registration.

Registrations postmarked after the close of the regular registration period will not be processed and the student will be contacted. Students registering during late registration, who plan to use the textbook supplier, for course materials, will need to contact the supplier immediately to ensure receipt of those materials before the course begins.
