Why do I need to think about my fall semester classes now? Somebody will surely help me with this, right?

Yes, they will, but this is your education. You will have many choices in college and deciding what you want to learn should be a priority. An important part of the Freshman Registration and Family Orientation (FR&FO) day will be the registration advising session in the afternoon. You will be meeting with an advisor from your major department or from the Academic Advising Center who will help you select classes for the fall semester. This person will not necessarily be your assigned advisor. Advisor assignments will be made in August.

To prepare for this session, you will attend an Academic Orientation for your selected College on the morning of FR&FO. There will be lots of good information in this session that will assist you in selecting classes in the afternoon, but you should begin thinking about your courses now. By navigating this tutorial, the information presented to you at FR&FO will make a lot more sense! Hopefully, you already have some questions and concerns about how you will create your first ever college schedule of classes.

Keep in mind, during the afternoon registration advising session family members will be separated from their students. Now is a good time to talk about the tips you gather from this tutorial.
