First Year Advising

Find Your Advisor

The advising appointment may feel like a whirlwind, so it’s important to come prepared. How to make the most of your advising session?

• Check for holds that prevent registration:

  • Click Student Records > Holds. Take care of removing registration holds prior to your registration date.

• Use the 4 year degree plans to help you determine which courses you should take. 

• Review required courses by using your Degree Evaluation

• Plan your tentative class schedule

  • Utilize Plan Ahead under Registration in WyoRecords when term is activated
  • Consult the Registration Guide for information
• Come with questions

Advising and Registration Order

Students are advised and register based on class standing or priority groups.

• Priority Registration - Varsity athletes, second bachelors candidates, Honors Program, Veterans, Student Success Services
• Seniors
• Freshmen
• Juniors
• Sophomores

Coming to your advising appointment with a preliminary schedule (or several ideas) saves time for discussing other issues and ensuring your schedule is as good as it can be.
