Your Role in the Academic Advising and Registration Processes:
Step 1. Understand your degree requirements (resources). Create a time line of courses you plan to take and when you would like to graduate. Familiarize yourself with any prerequisites and/or courses that are only offered in the fall or spring.
Step 2. Plan early! The schedule of classes will be available online beginning March 29th.
Step 3. Contact your Assigned Advisor (Faculty Advisor Contact Information) to learn their availability and plan a time to meet with him/her. If your Assigned Advisor is unavailable, or if you are a new student and you do not have an assigned Advisor or need to attend a New START session, check the Advising and Counseling website for availability (Advising Appointments and Workshops Schedule)
Step 4. Arrive on time to your appointment. Bring a copy of your transcript (resources) (failure to do so could prevent your advisor from approving your study plan). Come prepared with a list of courses you would like to take and any questions you may have concerning degree requirements and educational/career goals.
Step 5. Take advantage of priority registration. If you are eligible to register online follow the attached instructions (Online Instructions (PDF) (Plain Text)). If you do not meet the criteria at this point, bring your advisor-approved registration card to Records and Registration. Note: All holds must be cleared prior to registering for your classes.
REGISTRATION FOR SUMMER AND FALL 2010 IS OPEN.
Review your schedule of classes and take note of the payment deadline (link to Bursar). If you are a financial aid recipient, you must register for classes that meet your degree requirements (link to Financial Aid).
