Advising for Spring 2009
We are currently scheduling appointments for academic probation and Spring 2009 advising.
If you are still deciding on your major or have not officially declared your major, you will need to meet with your Arts and Sciences advisor to talk about exploring possible majors and scheduling appropriate classes for next spring. Please call 974-4483 (the Arts and Sciences Appointment Line) to schedule your spring advising appointment!
For declared majors, you must schedule an advising appointment with your appropriate department or college. Your department or college will clear you for spring registration.
Ways to Prepare for an Advising Appointment
- Understand degree requirements of colleges and majors you are considering
- Know the University’s advising policy, and schedule your advising appointment early.
- Be prompt for your appointment.
- Review the curriculum before your appointment.

- Read course descriptions to be aware of any prerequisites and corequisites.
- Prepare a list of questions for you and your advisor to discuss.
- Know what courses are being offered by reviewing the timetable on Circle Park Online.
