New Student Advisement
New students who have completed the online orientation and assessment tests will receive a registration date from the Admissions & Records Office. Before registering for classes, new students may want to meet with a counselor to learn how to select the right courses to meet their particular educational goals.
The new student advisement sessions are hands-on, practical workshops facilitated by a counselor. By the end of the two hour workshop, students will have:
- Clarified educational goals
- Practiced how to navigate the Schedule of Classes online
- Learned how to balance classes and manage their time
- Worked out a primary and alternative semester class schedule
In the hour following each advisement session, student Cougar Mentors from the Freshman Resource Center will invite you to:
- Meet faculty and get the inside story on their classes
- Take a tour of the campus and find out where classrooms and labs are located
- Learn about campus life and culture. Learn how to achieve, fit in, avoid common pitfalls and enjoy the college experience
To ensure your enrollment, use your Student ID # - which can be obtained from: What's my Student ID#?
