Dawg Days Registration invitations will be mailed in April to all first-time freshman applicants who have been accepted to C.U. After receiving the Dawg Days invitation, students can select their session by either reserving a session online, OR by mailing their response to the Admissions office:

            Office of Admissions

            Cumberland University

            1 Cumberland Square

            Lebanon, TN 37087

No. Once you have been accepted to C.U. you will receive an official transfer evaluation. This transfer evaluation will contain information identifying your assigned Academic Advisor and your transferable coursework. It is your responsibility to schedule an appointment with your academic advisor to prepare a fall schedule.

 

There is no way to predict which classes will be available at registration throughout the summer. However, the most popular classes for first-year students – English and Math in particular – tend to be carefully monitored throughout the summer to make sure there is adequate space. Those departments will open new class sections if they see the need to create more room for new students. While there may be a wider variety of class options at earlier sessions, it’s actually possible that someone at a later Dawg Days session may get to choose from options that weren’t available earlier in the summer. The “perfect” schedule may not be available, but all students should be able to register for a full load of classes that will fulfill their core curriculum and degree requirements. New students should be prepared to be flexible and should not rule out registering for classes that begin as early as 8 a.m. or late in the afternoon. It’s more difficult to predict class availability for transfer students. Students who are not satisfied with their schedule can change during the fall semester during the Drop/Add period.

 

Your day will begin with Dawg Days check-in on the front steps of Memorial Hall. On the morning or your Dawg Days, arrive between 8:00 and 8:30 a.m., and registration will begin at 8:30 a.m.

 

During the afternoon portion of your Dawg Days session you will have an appointment with our Student Financial Services office. Once you have completed your appointment with Student Financial Services your session will be complete, and most of these appointments should be completed by 3:00 p.m. You will also have the opportunity to meet with a representative from our Business office during your Dawg Days session.

 
 

Dawg Days sessions are assigned on a first come, first served basis, and it’s not always possible to assign students to their first choice. However, if you do need to change sessions call the Admissions office at (615) 547-1224 or email us at ppope@cumberland.edu

 

If you are unable to attend any of the scheduled Dawg Days sessions, you should call the Admissions office at (615) 547-1224 for instructions.

 

No. The CU Admissions Office needs to receive a copy of your final high school transcript by the beginning of fall semester. It will be checked to verify that you completed your high school curriculum and graduation requirements. Your eligibility to register for classes at Dawg Days will not be affected by the submission of your final high school transcript. However, to make sure we receive the transcript prior to fall semester, you may want to make the transcript request of your counselor prior to graduation. Many schools will not be able to complete your request in time if you wait until mid-summer.
