Please note – FEE Summer Session #2 will be the final opportunity to take the FEE before the start of the start of the Fall 2021 semester. 

FEE Summer Session #1

FEE Summer Session #2

If, due to extenuating circumstances, you are unable to participate in either offering of the FEE before the Fall 2021 semester, we will be offering a Make-Up FEE during IAP 2022. However, we strongly encourage completing the FEE during the summer, as your FEE placement affects your registration choices.
