| How To Register For Dog Days Fresno State |
Step 1: Accepting the Inevitable (and Your Admission Offer)
Let's face it, Dog Days are mandatory. But hey, think of it as a theme park for college prep! You'll get your class schedule, meet your advisor (who hopefully isn't allergic to boundless enthusiasm), and score some sweet Fresno State gear (because let's be honest, repping your school is half the fun).
Important Note: You can't register for Dog Days until you accept your admission offer. So, get on that, champ! Don't be the lost soul wandering the halls with a "Wait, I actually got in?" expression.
Step 2: Logging In Like a Social Media Pro
Now that you're officially a Fresno State Bulldog (woof!), it's time to unleash your inner internet wizard. Head over to the magical land of my.fresnostate.edu - your student portal, your gateway to all things Fresno State. Here, you'll use your fancy new Fresno State email and password (don't lose those!).
Tip: Reading in chunks improves focus.
Pro Tip: Bookmark this page. You'll be using it more than your social media these next few years (maybe).
Step 3: The Hunger Games...of Orientation Dates
This is where things get exciting (or slightly stressful, depending on your caffeine intake). Dog Days reservations are first-come, first-served. So, channel your inner Katniss Everdeen and be ready to snag your ideal date when the registration window opens.
Don't Forget: Registration deadlines are fierce. Missing them might land you on a waitlist, which is about as fun as lukewarm cafeteria pizza.
Tip: Reading on mobile? Zoom in for better comfort.
Step 4:facing the Beast...The $70 Fee
Yes, there's a fee. But think of it as an investment in your future coolness factor (all those workshops on adulting and stuff). You can pay online or at the Fresno State Cashiers Office (just don't bring Monopoly money, they frown upon that).
Financial Aid Warriors: If you need a little help with the fee, there's a deferment form available. Don't be shy, future Einstein!
