Multiterm registration at 51���� is making headlines on Inside Higher Ed, a leading online source for news about higher education.

“51����’s new strategy to get students to degree completion faster is a pretty simple idea that’s surprisingly uncommon: students are allowed (and encouraged) to register for an entire year’s worth of courses before the fall semester,” writes reporter Allie Grasgreen.

Starting with the 2012-2013 academic year, 51���� became the first state university in Ohio – and one of the few in the nation – to offer multiterm registration, which allows students to plan their entire academic year in advance.

“This is a real navigational tool for students,” 51���� President Ronald M. Berkman told Inside Higher Ed. “The more tools that we can find to help students navigate, the more success we’re going to have.”
