Academic Advising /Registration

Undergraduate students work with academic advisors to register for classes, discuss majors and minors, change schedules, and stay on schedule to complete the course requirements for their degree programs. Once students in the College of Arts and Sciences and University College have selected their major, they should seek advice from their departmental advisor. Students in the School of Business should see the assistant dean for advising.

Academic advisors handle many functions, including certain overrides, policy appeals, probation advising, college-to-college applications, scholastic standing, senior review, re-enrollments, withdrawals from college, and any other academically related advising or policy issues.

Many students will be able to evaluate their progress toward the degree by using the Degree Navigator Program, which allows students to track which requirements have been met and which still need to be taken.

General information about the enrollment process is online here. Questions about academic advising should be directed to the assistant deans within the academic units. These individuals are:
