Note: You can not register for Part-time MBA classes through SPIRE.

If you are eligible to self-enroll through SPIRE, you must have a Continuing and Professional Education (CPE) enrollment appointment before you can do so. See below for term specific information.

Fall/Spring: Only matriculated graduate students may use self-enrollment to enroll in CPE classes in the Fall and Spring terms. CPE automatically assigns enrollment appointments for these terms for all students eligible to self-enroll. To view CPE enrollment appointments, go to Enrollment>CPE Enroll Appointment on the left-panel menu in SPIRE. All other students should register directly through Continuing & Professional Education.

CPE’s Refund Schedule is different from university-scheduled classes. Check the Refund Policy before registering for CPE classes in SPIRE. If you drop a class after the 100% refund period you will not be credited for the full cost of the class even if you add a different class or a different section of the same class. The registration fee is non-refundable.

Billing and payment is handled through the university Bursar's office. For more information go to the Bursar web site.
