Registration & Readiness
Congratulations on your decision to attend McDaniel College
You are joining a thriving community of learners eager to develop themselves and make an important impact on the world. Our academic community eagerly awaits your arrival.
To begin your academic journey, we have developed this Registration & Readiness Guide for you. The guide includes information on your placement exams, an overview of our academic support services, and the details on how you will complete your first advising & course registration process. As you work through these tasks, pay careful attention to the deadlines. To assist in your planning (and encourage you not to procrastinate!), we’ve provided an overview of each activity, including the deadline by which it needs to be completed.
EACH STEP HAS A DEADLINE AND WE WANT TO HELP KEEP YOU ON TRACK

Although you won’t pick exactly which seminar you are enrolled in, you do get to list your preferences.
Course offerings change each year, here are two examples from the Fall 2023 Catalog:
