Advising and Registration

ADVISING and REGISTRATION INFORMATION

Seeing your advisor is an opportunity for you to develop a relationship with your advisor and for your advisor to get to know you.  You are assigned an advisor based on your classification and last name.  First-year students are advised by the College of Liberal Arts Recruitment and Retention Office.

You must meet with your advisor to receive your pin number which allows you to register.  This number changes every semester, so you should meet with your advisor at least once per semester to schedule your classes and to receive your pin.  Check Degree Works to make sure you are taking the required classes.  Meeting with your advisor will help to keep you on track to graduate on time. 

You may have a hold on your account if you do not meet with your advisor to receive your pin.
