Registration
View the CITS registration form. Students MUST submit a form during the registration window to receive LSC credit. LSC staff manually enroll students into their courses after confirming eligiblity, so rosters in eServices will not have complete course lists available for review until the roster review period listed in Important Dates.
Course Evaluations
Two weeks before each course end date, all CITS students will receive an email (in the account listed at registration time) with a link to submit course evaluations. Instructors will receive a message notifying that this survey has been sent out. Please encourage your students to submit their feedback. This is an important element for our program accreditation standards.
