The Registrar’s Office will pre-register you for your Spring semester first-year classes (all required) just as you were pre-registered for your Fall semester classes - unless you have an outstanding financial obligation (see (4) and (5) below).

*Online registration opens on Student Self-Service at 8 am on Tuesday, November 19 and is prioritized by year. The closer you are to graduation the earlier you register. Your online registration day starts at 8 am. Once your registration day begins, you can register at any time -- but the longer you wait the fewer options you will have -- until registration closes at 11:59 pm on Friday, November 22.

Registration Rules, Regulations, Dates and Deadlines

(1) If you do not register online by 11:59 pm on Friday, November 22, it will be necessary for you to wait until Tuesday, January 21, the first day of the Spring 2025 semester, to register late and to pay a late registration fee of $100.

(2) Schedule changes may take place, via Student Self-Service, during the drop/add period at the start of the Spring semester, January 21-28. Schedule changes must be approved by the School of Architecture Office. Beginning Wednesday, January 29, no courses may be added but it will be possible to withdraw from a course with permission of the Dean of the School of Architecture and the instructor. A fee of $25 will be charged for each withdrawal. If the student is passing the course at the time of withdrawal, the designation of "W" will appear on the record. If the student is failing the course, a grade of "WF" will be recorded.

(3) No classes may be added after Tuesday, January 28. It will be possible to withdraw from courses, with the appropriate authorization and fee payment, until Tuesday March 18 by following the above procedure.

(4) If you have an outstanding financial obligation to The Cooper Union: tuition, student fee, international student fee, lab fee, graduation fee, medical insurance fee, etc., you can find this information on Student Self-Service and make your payment via Student Self-Service (24/7 and before registration). Meeting your financial obligation before registration will allow you to register on time when you will potentially have the most options.

(5) Apropos of (4) above and new as of Spring 2025, please familiarize yourself with the Updated Policy and Payment Schedule for the Spring 2025 Semester, announced via Campus Connect in early October. Late payments will now have registration, penalty fee, ID card, building access and other consequences.  Please be sure to review this new policy and payment schedule and to plan accordingly.

(6) The Spring 2025 semester begins on Tuesday, January 21. We will be following a Tuesday schedule of classes on that date.

(7) See the academic calendar

  • Founded by inventor, industrialist and philanthropist Peter Cooper in 1859, The Cooper Union for the Advancement of Science and Art offers education in art, architecture and engineering, as well as courses in the humanities and social sciences.

  • “My feelings, my desires, my hopes, embrace humanity throughout the world,” Peter Cooper proclaimed in a speech in 1853. He looked forward to a time when, “knowledge shall cover the earth as waters cover the great deep.”

  • From its beginnings, Cooper Union was a unique institution, dedicated to founder Peter Cooper's proposition that education is the key not only to personal prosperity but to civic virtue and harmony.

  • Peter Cooper wanted his graduates to acquire the technical mastery and entrepreneurial skills, enrich their intellects and spark their creativity, and develop a sense of social justice that would translate into action.
