Academic Interest Form 2013

*** WE ARE STILL ACCEPTING ACADEMIC INTEREST FORMS ***

Please make sure you fill out EVERY FIELD or the form cannot be submitted. Please utilize the chat feature to contact us with questions.

Freshmen complete this form to be scheduled for classes for their first academic term. Before you begin, we recommend that you review the Core Curriculum course descriptions. The Academic Advising Center advisors will register you for your first term based upon your choices and course availability. The courses you show an interest in are used as a guide to determine your class schedule, however advisors will first consider prerequisites and requirements for your intended major. For a list of majors offered at Towson University and the requirements needed to complete a major, go to: http://fusion.towson.edu/www/admissions/academic/majors/index.cfm

If you are not registered for all of your preferred courses, you can take them in your second semester. Schedules will be created in the order received, so for the best selection of classes, submit your interest form early.

Questions? Chat with a Student Academic Advisor (Monday - Friday 10am-4pm) or send an email to freshreg@towson.edu. If you would like an advisor to contact you, please include your name, email address, student ID number, phone number and the best times you would prefer to be contacted.
