It’s a time-honored tradition across campuses big and small to register for classes closer
to the deadline date than sooner. “Why rush,” is the feeling, “the classes will be there.”
The sentiment reveals a myth that has negatively impacted students for many years,
causing some to miss graduating on time and ultimately paying more money than
anticipated for their degree. The grim reality is classes can close and no longer be
available. This can create a real mess for degree plans. Too often students who register
late lose class options and must wait an entire semester or year to take the course(s)
they need.
Registering early and on time not only guarantees you better course selection, but more
time to pay your fees. The courses you select generate your bill. Knowing your cost early
allows you and your family to plan better and gives you a longer window to acquire the
funds you need. It’s difficult to make immediate financial decisions. Students who
register early don’t have to.
You came to Bethune-Cookman University to change the world. Register here TODAY
and give yourself the best chance to get started sooner than later.
