Maintaining active enrollment

[wow]

My last TECEP was taken in the September 2024 term, and to maintain my enrollment I was planning to enroll for one in the Sept 2025 term. But now I looked at the catalog and it says to maintain your enrollment you need to register for a course *before* the year is up. It's confusing language, because registration is different from taking a course, but ...

Will taking the tecep in the Sept 2025 term maintain my enrollment, or should I try to register for August 2025 (paying late registration fees as required)?

Registration for the Sept 25 term will happen before the Sept term, so should satisfy the requirement.

Thanks!
