Registration

Two weeks before course registration begins, notices are posted in the FTA Department announcing the workshops being offered that semester. One week before course registration, students may email the teacher of record, Danny Retz (fretz@uno.edu), and ask for permission to register for a workshop.

The request must include:

student's UNO ID number
student's UNO email address
a working phone number for the student
name(s) of the workshop for which student wishes to register

Once permission is given, a student has a deadline by which to register for the workshops. If not registered by the deadline, the permission to register is withdrawn. A student who misses the deadline to register may reapply for permission to register. If openings are available, permission may be reinstated.
