Course selection includes consultation with a faculty adviser and presentation of the course-selection form to the registrar's office. This registration must be confirmed at the final check-in just before classes begin. Final check-in includes housing confirmation, fee payment, financial aid processing, proof of insurance, ID cards, auto registration and other items. Part-time students and late applicants complete both these stages on the first day of the semester. Final course selection and check-in for all students is held the first two days of the semester, as is course selection for late students.
Classes begin on the third day of the semester.
Fall SST students and new students complete course selection the first day of the semester. Final check-in for all is the first day of the spring semester, and classes begin on the second day. Academic advising First-semester freshmen are assigned to colloquium advisers. Those who are ready to declare a major at the end of the first semester are then assigned to advisers in their academic departments. All others will be assigned to general advisers in the collegiate studies department until they declare majors.
