March 12 - Deadline

This is the last day to submit your Elective Registration Google Form.  After this date your chances of getting your top choices decrease dramatically!

Many times students do not fill out the form because they believe they will be attending another school next year, whether it be due to a move or via a transfer.  PLEASE take our advice and Complete the form anyway!  If you move or transfer then no worries, your new school will have you select your courses, but sometimes plans fall through and students end up at Lyman and get stuck with courses they didn't choose!
