Registration

Current students can find valuable information on courses, registration, and institutional policies below.

Remember, contact your advisor if you have questions about what courses to take. If you are in a GTU program (GTU MA or the Certificate in Buddhist Chaplaincy), your student record and registration will happen via the GTU student portal, Sonis. And please contact Helen Tagawa (htagawa@shin-ibs.edu), our Registrar and Director of Student Services for any specific questions about admissions, registration, or applying for scholarships.

And, as always, read the catalog! Most of your questions can be answered by reading the catalog.
