Advising:
All new students are required to meet with an academic advisor before they register for classes. Each school and college has its own rules about when new freshmen are able to meet with their academic advisor. In order to determine how your school or college handles new freshmen advising and registration, please contact your advising office.
In addition to meeting with an advisor and attending orientation, new students should also complete all items on the New Student Checklist before classes begin.
