Advisement process:

Students are not assigned a
specific Advisor. They are encouraged to meet with different advisors and choose one
that best suits their needs and personal style.

Advisors are available Monday through

one of the Advisors are from 9:00-12:00 and from 2:00-4:15.

Students are required to meet with an Advisor

registration after all other students have completed their registration.
