With registration for the Fall 2021 semester having kicked off this Monday, students at UP are scrambling to get into their classes. For some, this will be their first semester spent physically on The Bluff. While approximately 20% of the classes offered this coming semester will be online, the majority of them will be in-person.
There are many new classes being offered across the different schools this fall. Below is a compiled list of some of the new classes across the different departments and colleges. If students wish to browse these classes on Coursicle or Self Serve, all new courses are numbered either 391 or 491.

For the listed classes above that are in the College of Arts and Sciences (CAS), there is a brand new resource available this year, the Expanded Course Descriptions, to help prospective students find information about courses that they might be interested in taking. For new courses offered outside the CAS, students should visit each department’s web page for more information on course descriptions.
Students should make sure they are aware of which classes will be offered online, as they will be labeled “online” on Self Serve. Registration will be continuing through Thursday, April 22.
