Academic Advising Events

• Registration/Late Registration Drop-in Advising: BSBA students may stop by for one-on-one late registration advising during the first week of classes in the fall and spring and later in each semester during registration week.  Advisers are available to offer assistance with finding a replacement course, registering for classes, or other general advising needs.

• Freshman & Sophomore Advise-A-Thon: Held in the fall and spring prior to registration.  Advisers are available to meet with students (who have completed the Canvas advising tutorial and quiz) on a first come, first served basis to answer any remaining advising questions.

• Faculty Advise-A-Thon: Held in the fall and spring prior to registration.  Faculty advisers from all majors are available for one-on-one drop-in advising.  This is a great opportunity for all students (freshmen through seniors) to inquire about upper division coursework, course and elective sequencing, and progress toward graduation.  Common inquiries often pertain to what types of jobs can be sought with a particular major, double majoring, complementary minors, and post-graduation options.
