Advising

The Office of New Student Enrollment coordinates the academic advising and course enrollment process for new first-year, transfer and international students. Through New Student Enrollment steps, students complete pre-advising tasks, schedule an advising appointment and enroll in first-semester courses.

Pre-Advising

Pre-advising tasks consist of submitting your Advising Inventory and completing the Math Placement Exam (if applicable) and/or the Modern Language Placement Exam (if applicable).

Academic Advising Appointment

Once all required pre-advising tasks are complete, you can register for a virtual or in-person academic advising appointment. You cannot access the appointment scheduling system until all required pre-advising tasks are complete.
