Spring Registration

Spring registration is right around the corner, with “registration week” taking place November 12-16. We will have the detailed spring schedules available before the end of the month, but in the meantime, we wanted to remind you that all of the logistics information you need can be found on the Jones School Registrar and Advising CampusGroups site–just navigate to your program, then the Registration & Program FAQs section. You can also track your graduation progress by looking at your DegreeWorks account, or schedule an Advising Appointment to discuss any concerns you have about the upcoming semester. Let us know if you have any questions: jgsbregistrar@rice.edu.

Class of 2020: You will have the opportunity to register for custom core and a limited selection of electives that have been designated as first-year electives. More details to follow, but be sure to put Elective Preview on your calendar: Tuesday, October 23 @ 11:15am – 12:30pm (AFC)
