Registration

Students register for classes using Trinity’s web-based registration system or by submitting a registration form to the Academic Records office.

Late Enrollment

Late enrollment will be permitted after the first day of the semester and through the end of the fifth teaching day of the semester, during which time a fee will be assessed.

In addition to being enrolled, students must also attend classes; see class attendance for further information.
