<aside> 📣 Advising should be done every semester to ensure a smooth pathway to graduation.

Early advising is highly recommended! 🙃 1st semester transfer students: See an advisor once your option is noted in the system. [Check your Academic Requirements page periodically once the Change of Major (option) form has been submitted.]

🍂 During Fall term: See an advisor beginning September (since spring registration typically occurs in October).

🌻 During Spring term: See an advisor beginning February (since fall registration typically occurs in April).
