If Your Student has not Registered yet...

Now is the time to schedule an appointment time and date for registration. An individual registration appointment will be scheduled for your student with a registration counselor to register for fall semester classes.

Your student can call the First-Year Registration Line at 253-535-7585 or 866-203-5288 to schedule an appointment time and date. The student must have paid their Advance Tuition Payment with the Office of Admission to reserve a spot. Classes are filled on a first-come, first-enrolled basis, so appointments should be scheduled as early as possible! If you live outside the local area, we can conduct a registration appointment over the telephone!

Crossing the T's

Final High School transcripts need to be ordered - PLU requires that all students submit an official high school transcript showing graduation date and all final grades. These transcripts should be sent as soon as possible so that students do not have a hold placed on their account. Contact the high school for how to order the final transcript showing graduation date. The transcript must be sent directly from the high school to PLU Registrar's Office.
