Next three registration periods will overlap

For the first time at Columbus State, registration will open for three different terms within a 45-day period. Facing scheduling opportunities for spring and summer quarters and autumn semester in a brief time frame, you need to really plan ahead. Expect increased demand for the student services you need—especially registration and advising—in the coming weeks.

Term	Registration Opens	Schedule Available Online
Spring Quarter 2012	January 30, 2012	January 16, 2012
Summer Quarter 2012*	February 13, 2012	February 1, 2012
Autumn Semester 2012	March 12, 2012	February 27, 2012

*Summer Quarter 2012 will be slightly shorter than normal (9 weeks instead of 11) due to the earlier start of Autumn Semester 2012. You might want to consider this timing when planning and scheduling for summer quarter.
