Preparing for First-Semester Advance Registration

Prior to Advance Registration, incoming freshmen must have a discussion with their pre-major advisor about their academic interests and goals, and to plan a roster for their first semester. After this discussion, the student will be removed from registration hold and may register for courses.

In preparation for the conversation with their pre-major advisor, student should:

• • Carefully review the timeline for incoming freshmen and make preparations well in advance of deadlines.
• • Consider the regulations and academic opportunities that will help in planning your roster.
• • Complete the Freshman Questionnaire
• • Determine expected academic credit for advanced placement exams.
• • View the 5-minute registration tutorial to help clarify the registration process.
• • Begin to review potential courses.

Contact the pre-major advisor to request an appointment. Any student unable to reach their pre-major advisor should contact their peer advisor or the College Office.

The Registration Worksheet

Completing the Registration Worksheet in the Freshman Timetable gives students the time to find, prioritize and carefully check the courses they will request during registration. The more complete and accurate the worksheet is, the easier and more successful the online registration process will be.
