New Student Registration (NSR) Fall 2026
Registration for students starting PLU in Fall 2026 will begin mid-June. Continue to work on your New Student Checklist and check back here in May to request your appointment. We are looking forward to meeting you!
All students meet with an Academic Advisor to sign up for classes. Before you can meet with an advisor, there are some things that you must do first:
Math Placement Evaluation
Don’t panic! The Math Placement Evaluation (MPE) is NOT a test. The MPE is how we determine what classes you are eligible to take. Math placement scores impact classes in chemistry, biology, nursing, physics, and more.
Submit Running Start transcripts
If you did Running Start, you MUST submit official transcripts before you can sign up for an appointment to register for classes. Official transcripts must come directly from the college where you took the classes. If you’re enrolled in classes when you send your transcript then you will have to send another transcript after your final grades have been submitted. We will remind you when it’s time to send the final transcript.
- Transcripts must be submitted directly to PLU. We do not accept emailed transcripts, copies of transcripts, or transcripts that are not in a sealed envelope from the school. Most schools use Parchment to send transcripts digitally.
