We know it feels like the semester just started, but it's already time to check in with the First Year Advising Center. All students are required to attend an advising session every semester to make sure they are on the right path toward academic success.
We recommend you take advantage of our group advising sessions if you are interested in the following major areas:
During a group advising session, you will:
- Learn more about your major, degree requirements and tips for success
- Connect with other students in the same or similar major
- Be able to schedule a follow-up appointment with your adviser after the group advising session if needed
Click the link of your intended major above to view available dates and times and to register. Step-By-Step Instructions are available if you need additional help.
Students in other majors, or those who prefer an individual appointment, can schedule using the link below. We have both in-person and virtual options.
Both group advising and individual appointments fill up fast, so sign up for one today! If you have any questions, or need help with scheduling, please call (248) 370-3227.
