The Registration Process

Registering For Your Second Term

Beginning with your second term, you will enroll in classes on your own on an assigned enrollment appointment date. You will only be able to enroll after discussing your class selection with your adviser.

The enrollment date will be in your student dashboard. Enrollment dates are determined on the amount of credit each student has earned, with priority given to students with more credit.

The change of schedule period will be the last opportunity to add, drop or swap classes. View the academic calendar for this date.

Registration is completed online through Towson Online Services. If you have problems, contact the Registrar’s Office at (410) 704-2701. An online tutorial is also available at towson.edu/registrar/registration and Student Dashboard Tutorial Videos from the AARC Office.

Balancing It All: Tips for Building a Well-Rounded Schedule

While class time and study time may be the most obvious, there are many factors to consider when planning your schedule, including time for:

  • Study (recommended 2–3 hours for each hour of instruction)
  • Travel to class and between classes – make sure you leave enough time to travel to and from each class location (e.g., York Road Building, Enrollment Services, Center for the Arts, Burdick Hall, etc.) Note that some classes are scheduled on off-site campuses, including the Towson University Northeastern Maryland building located in Harford County.
  • Athletics or music training/practice, off-campus observation, internships, etc.
  • Meals
  • Work
  • Social activities
  • Family obligations
  • Sleep
