Charger registration

New Student Registration

New Student Registration is your final step in becoming an official Southwest Tech Charger, and we are so excited to help you register for your classes.

During this event, you’ll review and update your Student Success Plan, including your academic map, supports and services, and student budget. Most students have already met with their advisor, but this is your chance to make any necessary adjustments and meet with financial aid if you haven’t already. At Southwest Tech, we truly care about your success and are here to help you build a plan that evolves with you, so you feel confident and ready to start classes!

Please plan to spend between two and three hours at registration.
