Announcements
The Schedule of Classes and Shopping Cart Are Now Available for Summer and Fall 2026
The Schedule of Classes and Shopping Cart are now available for Summer and Fall 2026. Students can search for classes and add them to their Shopping Cart ahead of their enrollment appointment to make the registration process easier.
Updates to the Statement of Residency Classification (SORC)
The updated SORC is accessed within UAccess Student, allowing for a more streamlined and accessible residency classification process for new and returning students. Key changes to the updated process include a modernized and mobile friendly user experience, and the inclusion of Arizona Board of Regents exception questions, increasing the efficiency of the residency classification process. We invite those who support students or who have an interest in learning more about the residency classification process to review our Residency Classification webpage and our recent open forum.

Updates to the General Education Curriculum Policy
In Fall 2025, effective for Fall 2026, updates were made to include a new 3-unit Civic Institutions requirement within the General Education curriculum. The Building Connections requirement was lowered from 9 units to 6 units to maintain the current General Education total of 32 units with this change. Descriptions of individual General Education Attributes were removed from the policy as they are not student-facing graduation requirements.
While these changes take effect in the 2026-2027 catalog year, the amended policies appear as reference pages in the 2025-2026 catalog to assist with planning.
Updates to the Repeating a Course & Grading for Repeated Courses Policy
In Spring 2025, updates were made to simplify access to repeating a course, ensure Grade Point Average (GPA) calculation better represents academic progress, and provide additional academic flexibility for undergraduate and graduate degree students, while codifying policy for certain existing practices. The updated policy is in effect beginning in the fall 2025 semester.
