Academic advising offers both in-person and virtual appointments so please pay special attention to the additional details provided in your appointment confirmation as it will provide the location and link details necessary to attend or access your appointment.
We encourage you to schedule an advising appointment as soon as possible to take advantage of priority registration where you will have the most courses open to you and more time with an advisor to cover additional academic information. As we approach the start of the semester, there will be less appointment and course availability.
Students transferring from a foreign university should come prepared with course syllabi and descriptions and are encouraged to enroll even earlier as there is a multi-tiered credit evaluation process that must be complete to be advised appropriately.

| Early action appointments (late April to early August) |
|
| Late action appointments (mid to late August) |
