Advising & Registering for Classes
Meeting with your advisor and selecting classes is a crucial first step in starting your program. Each program has its own approach to advising, tailored to best support its students. Be sure to reach out to your program before the semester begins to learn about the advising process and connect with your advisor. They’ll help with class selection and registration, setting you up for a successful semester!
