How Do I...Learn About CentralPipeline?
CentralPipeline is a Web portal that allows students to register for classes (please select this link for an online Registration Guide). It also provides access to campus announcements, grades, class schedules, payment information and WebCT.  In order to use Pipeline, every student must have a computer account user name and password. Pipeline is fairly easy to operate: once you have created an account and logged in, simply click on the tabs at the top, and you can discover information about your courses (My Courses), campus events (Campus Life), register for class or check grades (School Services) or see University-wide announcements and important news as well as activate your Blue Chip card (Central Pipeline). To get things started, please select this link to CentralPipeline--it's also linked from the homepage and the top navigation bar on several other pages--or take a look at the introduction to the Registration Guide, which explains the set-up process.
