Registration > How to Enroll - Fall Open University Knowledge Center

Before attempting to enroll in any course, please make sure to have your payment ready. All tuition and campus fee payments are due within 2 hours of registering for a class.

If payment is not received within this 2-hour window, you will be dropped from all classes due to non-payment. This rule helps to ensure that all possible open seats remain available to other registrants.
