The Academic Advisor's job is to register students for classes and to answer questions about the Elementary Education program of study. The advisor cannot decide which classes a student should take each semester, nor plan a student's schedule. There are many advantages to attending Purdue North Central. One of those advantages is that class sizes are smaller and students receive more individualized instruction than on a large campus. The disadvantage is that there are fewer faculty members, and consequently, not as many degree and class offerings.
Classes sometimes fill before all students have registered.
This is another reason for registering for classes during Advance Registration. Appointments are made on a first come, first served basis. Obtain a copy of the PNC schedule of classes ahead of time and plan the schedule. The schedule of classes is posted on the PUNC web site a few days before Advance Registration begins. A schedule planning worksheet will be available outside of the Education Office.
