Course Registration - North Idaho College

When can I register?

Registration opens in April for Summer/Fall and November for Spring for continuing students. Check the college calendar for dates.

The Registrar's Office notifies currently enrolled students when registration times are available. Appointments are assigned based on credits completed, not including in-progress credits. Students are encouraged to register as soon as possible to ensure enrollment in their desired class schedule.

Advisors can answer any questions on your degree progress and academic planning. You can also track your degree progress by checking My Progress in Self Service.

New, transfer and returning applicants will receive steps on how to schedule an advising appointment in the acceptance email.

These students are required to meet with an advisor prior to being released to register for classes.
Acceptance emails are sent to a student's Cardinal Mail account.
