Steps to Enroll for Students at Large

Apply online at harpercollege.edu/apply. Payment of a $25 nonrefundable fee is required at the time of application.

If you are taking a course that requires a pre-requisite that was fulfilled at another institution, provide your transcript from the other institution. An unofficial transcript as proof of completion is sufficient.

Harper has thousands of dollars in scholarships to award students for merit, talent and community service. Learn about available scholarships and how to apply.

Registration is a three-step process:

1. Log into your MyHarper Portal account.

3. Use the drop-down tab to select the course(s) you want, and then add or drop classes as necessary to build your schedule.

Although you aren't required to attend Orientation or meet with an academic counselor before you register, if you would like to do so anyway, please contact the Center for New Students and Orientation.
