Advising Tips
•

More on Advising
The advising website has a tab just for prospective students. You can go
through step by step.
Work through the Early Registration Advising course. Everything you
need to know is there and you are required to complete it before you can
register for classes anyway.
- Early Registration Quiz opens November 25th for spring admits.
•
Register for classes before you come to Orientation! (But don’t worry, we
will help you to adjust your schedule if you need to.)
- Do the work ahead of time so you are ready to register when the system opens
on December 9th for spring admits.
