Late Enrollment

Late enrollment begins the week before the semester start date. Longer response times and limited course availability are expected during this period.

Registration is not permitted unless all enrollment and advising steps have been completed. Students are encouraged to complete all enrollment and advising steps early to ensure they are able to register prior to the schedule adjustment deadlines.

Advising

Academic advising is required for all students every semester before registering for courses. Students are encouraged to contact their advisor early to prepare for registration, during September or October.

Students should review the Academic Advising page for more information about contacting their advisor.

Priority Registration

Priority registration is awarded to continuously enrolled students who have been admitted to a program as of Fall 2026 or prior. Assignment is determined based on credit hours completed.

Please Note: CCP students have different deadlines. Review the deadlines listed on the CCP Important Dates page.

General Registration

During general registration, all advised students can add courses to their schedule. Students should ensure they are able to log into Self-Service prior to registration.

Students who are unable to access Self-Service should email helpdesk@durhamtech.edu. Students who are unable to register for a course should email registration@durhamtech.edu.

Note: Self-Service closes for weekly maintenance on Fridays from 6:00 a.m. to 8:00 a.m.

Waitlist Function

A waitlist is a list of students who want to register for a specific section of a full class and are waiting for a seat to open. When a seat becomes available, the first student on the waitlist receives an email alert and has 24 hours to register for the course through Self-Service.

Schedule Adjustments 

The schedule adjustment period allows students who have completed all enrollment and advising steps to add courses to their schedule via Self-Service. Courses added during the schedule adjustment period must be paid the same day as registration or will be subject to deregistration.

Students cannot add courses after the schedule adjustment period has ended. Students requesting an exception to schedule adjustment procedures must request approval from the academic dean over the program area responsible for the course.
