Drop-In Hours | Schedule Changes

It was great to see you during the group advising session!  I'm really looking forward to working with you this year. After our time together today:

1. Review the Academic Advising Syllabus and take notes of of your to-do items.

2. Review the Presentation, if you need clarification.

Drop-In Hours

Drop-in hours, also known as office hours, are times when you can drop-by the office without a scheduled appointment. Students are seen on a first-come, first-serve basis. Check-in at the front desk of Career & Academic Planning (3rd floor of the Student Success Center) during the following drop-in hours if you want to meet:

Changing Your Schedule

As you have been doing, you have the power to change your schedule if classes have open seats and you have met the pre- or co-requisites. Remember - With great power comes great responsibility. Review the blog posts from this summer about making changes to your schedule. While you can add and drop classes from your schedule until Tuesday, September 2, the later it is that you make a change, the more class you will have missed and need to play catch-up on. Missing one week of class is a large chunk of time in college.

First Day of Class

Bring a pen or pencil and paper with you on the first day of class.  You will receive a syllabus from each instructor about the class, expectations, contact information, required materials, course schedule, assignments, and grading.  Take notes and ask questions!  You can wait until after the first class to buy books unless you’ve heard otherwise from your instructor.  Waiting to buy books can prevent you from needing to return books if you change your course section or course.  Read more about purchasing textbooks in a previous post.
