- Q: When does advisement begin each semester?
- A: You are encouraged to make an appointment with your adviser or to drop in at posted times as early as possible. You do not have to wait until registration begins. You should see your adviser well before your designated time for registration. Caution: If you wait too late to make an advisement appointment, your adviser may not be available at a time convenient to you and your registration may be delayed.
- Q: What happens if I am required to contact an adviser but try to register without seeing my adviser?
- A: When you enter Add/Drop Classes in Banner Web, you will be blocked from entering courses. You must contact your adviser and be advised. After you have been advised your access to registration will be unlocked so that you can begin registration if you are eligible to self register. If you are not eligible to self register your adviser will register you for classes after you have been advised.
- Q: What should I do before I contact an adviser?
-
A: Before you meet with an adviser, you should review your academic history in BANNER WEB FOR STUDENTS based upon the Academic Catalog requirements for your program of study. It is wise to prepare a tentative curriculum plan in advance. You will find program worksheets and other useful material at the Advising Notes for Students web location.
