Advising Tips

1. As soon as the class schedules are available for the next semester, make an appointment to see your advisor. Your advising appointment should be at least a week before your scheduled registration time. Feel free to seek advice during other times during the semester.
2. Complete ENG 110, C-S 103/104, and MTH 145 as soon as possible, since they are prerequisites for other CBA core courses.
3. ECO 110 and 120 should be completed in the Freshman year.
4. Students should be aware of the University's Drop/Add Policies and Probation/Retention Standards as stated in the University Catalog.
