Advising and Class Registration Tutorials

Welcome to the advising and registration tutorials for incoming USF students. These tutorials will help you understand your graduation requirements, navigate USF's student registration portal, and register for classes.

You will also connect with a faculty or staff adviser in your program/department who can help you decide which classes to register for.

After watching the advising and registration tutorials, complete the Class Registration Quiz in the Academics at USF section of Next Steps. After you complete the Class Registration Quiz, you will be cleared for registration.
