FRESHMAN REGISTRATION AND FAMILY ORIENTATION

How does the afternoon session work?

Students first meet with a faculty or staff advisor for their program; they are given more information about their major and requirements, and the advisors work individually with students to help them choose appropriate classes for their fall semester. Staff members in the Records & Registration Office will register you for your courses and then mail your schedule to you.  The benefit of this is that students attending the later sessions of Freshman Registration & Family Orientation have as good a chance of getting their first choice classes as those that attend earlier sessions.   Although we try our best to place you in your first choice classes, students are not guaranteed their first choices and it greatly assists the registration staff when they know what other courses interest you. Consequently, during your meeting with an advisor, you will be selecting second and third choice courses too.
