You must review the PDF schedule carefully for specific dates and times for the Focus Week courses. The dates and times for Focus Week courses are listed in the course description in Populi (click on the course title).  Registration group status is based on earned credit hours, not the number of years of attendance. Refer to the registration groups below for status and registration dates. IMPORTANT: Register before August 17 (the first day of the spring term).  The Fall 2027 Add Deadline is August 23rd; the Fall 2027 Drop Deadline is August 30th.
