Summer Registration Is Open
See the List of Summer '21 College of Computing Classes
This is a good time to pick up some classes to help complete your degree or explore other topics. Of specific interest to Applied Computing students is EET 1411 (equivalent to EET 1120), which is offered online during the summer. HU 3120 and OSM 4300 are often tough to register for during the regular school year, but they frequently have openings in the summer.
