Registration Start-Date

Summary

When registration opens for both returning and new Curriculum students

Overview

Registration dates and deadlines are posted on our website, at abtech.edu/deadlines. We encourage you to register as soon as possible for the best class availability. There is no single deadline to register. 

New Students

New students register for classes during "open registration," which began on April 7, 2025 for the Summer 2025 semester. New students will be able to register on June 16, 2025 for the Fall 2025 and Spring 2026 semesters. If new students attempt to register for a class before open registration begins, they will get an error message that says they have "no priority registration time."

Current and Returning Students

Registration began on March 31, 2025 for the Summer 2025, Fall 2025, and Spring 2026 semesters. Returning students are given a specific "priority registration time" when they can begin registering, based on the number of credits they've taken at A-B Tech.

Students who are enrolled in an academic program must consult their advisor every registration period and set up a course Plan before registering in Self-Service.
