While all undergraduate students are encouraged to schedule a visit with an advisor in the Academic Advising Center, some student populations are required to meet with an academic advisor for additional support. Below, we offer a list of students who are required to meet with an academic advisor throughout the semester and/or before course registration. Upon the completion of the advising session, the student’s advising or TSI hold will then be lifted for course registration.
If you are not a member of the student groups listed on the mandatory advising list, then you have no advising hold and are free to register for courses that meet your degree requirements.
