    Attend New Student Orientation

    The CPS Undergraduate Program provides many resources for student success. To become familiar with them, take time to view the New Student Orientation at http://cpsundergradorientation.org before beginning your first class. Your advisor will also review these resources with you periodically.

    Register for Class

    Work with your enrollment counselor  to select and enroll in your first class. If you have been out of college for five years or more and/or have fewer than 30 transfer credits, you must enroll in ED205 Adult Learning as your first course unless a writing course is also required. . ED205 introduces students to theories of adult learning, strategies for success and opportunities for writing and research. Credit earned may be applied toward your degree plan and is eligible for financial aid. ED205 is strongly encouraged for all students new to accelerated learning. Students with recent college experience or more than 30 transfer credits may choose courses listed at https://webadvisor.regis.edu

    Obtain Course Module, Overview, and Books

    Every course uses a module/overview as a guide to course content. It is important to obtain the module/overview and your books prior to the first night of class.

    First night assignments are required for  campus-based courses  and required textbooks are outlined in the module/overview. You may download the module/overview from www.regis.edu/spsundergrad.

    All courses have a minimum of one textbook. You may order books through the Follet Bookstore at 303.458.4150 or 800.798.4153, online at www.regis.edu/bookstore, or purchase them at the Lowell campus.

    The New Century Handbook (latest edition) is the accepted English writing guide used in CPS undergraduate courses. It provides assistance with grammatical questions and bibliographic citations. Every student is encouraged to purchase a copy of The New Century Handbook for use throughout their program at Regis.

    Complete First Night Assignment

    All CPS courses are accelerated so there will be a reading and writing assignment due for the first class session. Your assignment will be listed in the course module/overview (see previous section). Note: Online students do not have a First Night Assignment but will have assignments due the first week.
