📅 Plan Ahead — Advising Has Changed!

Advising is now by appointment year-round — no more peak advising! That means you can (and should!) meet with your Success Coach early to plan for Spring 2026 registration.

👉 Schedule your advising appointment now to get your classes locked in early!

✅ Pro Tip: Build your course wish list with your Success Coach before your registration window opens so you're ready to go!

Don’t wait until December or January — plan ahead, get support early, and stay on track!
