The registration process for May Experience is similar to registering for your courses during the academic year. You should consult your academic advisor or the faculty member leading the class to determine if a course matches your academic goals. Some courses may require the completion of a prerequisite or may be enrolled on an invitation-only basis. Keep in mind that you will only be able to enroll in a single May Experience course in a given year.
