Spring 2022 Orientation

The number one question we are asked by incoming students is, "How do I build my class schedule?"

Your Department Chair will be primarily responsible for creating your spring schedule. However, you may be asked to round out your schedule with other classes.

Check your Longwood email frequently as this may be where your Department Chair sends instructions, course recommendations, and/or additional information.

If you need assistance during the class registration process please email StartHere@longwood.edu.
