Pre-Registration Advising

The Office of Student Development and Success (OSDS) is committed to helping you strategically plan and build the best course schedule, allowing you to progress to your major department and graduation. We are your partners through this process! Continuing students please follow the steps below to better understand what you need to do for Pre-Registration Advising.

For new First-Year students, check out our New Student Information page for information on preparing for your first semester. The information for New First-Year Students differs from that for our continuing Lee College of Engineering students.

Do you need to meet with your advisor?

If you are a first-semester student or received an Early Alert, you must schedule an advising appointment with your Major Advisor via Connect.

Once you have reviewed your Academic Plan of Study & chosen your next semester’s courses, fill out your Plan & upload it to Canvas for approval from your Major Advisor. Once you have received approval, your advising hold will be removed from your account.

Based on your approved Academic Plan of Study, register for the courses you and your Major Advisor decided were best for your path forward.
