Course Registration
Before Orientation, we'll send you information through Longwood Live Mail about how to register online for courses in your major. Then you'll meet with your department chair, or a department faculty representative, to talk about your degree plan.
Your department chair may reach out to you first, to help build the best schedule, but either way, we'll be in touch. Please check your Longwood Live Mail regularly so that you can register for classes.
