When should I see my advisor?
You must see your advisor each semester before you register.
Advising for the spring semester typically starts in October, so you should contact
your advisor in late September or early October to make an appointment.
Advising for the fall semester starts in March so you should contact your advisor
in late February or early March to make an appointment.
Don't be surprised if your academic advisor is booked with appointments for several
days. Advising is a very busy time, and our academic advisors spend one-on-one time
with every student to make sure all questions are answered.
You can also contact your advisor for questions and concerns other than those regarding
advising. If you have any problems, or need information, give your advisor a call
or send him or her an e-mail. They are happy to help!

an appointment.

Can I be advised if I have a hold on my record?
Yes. You can meet with your advisor to pick out your courses even if you have a hold
on your record. However, certain holds may stop you from registering, even if you
have met with your advisor. Make sure to check your holds before registration begins
to ensure that you can register for classes on time.

I tried to register and it says I need an alternate PIN from my advisor. What does
this mean?
This is an advising hold. It means you have not met with your advisor to discuss your
classes for the upcoming semester. Contact your advisor to set up an appointment and
once you have met, the hold will be cleared.
If you have already met with your advisor and this message still appears, contact
your advisor as soon as possible so the hold can be removed.
