Registration
All first-time freshmen admitted for the spring semester will meet with an advisor in the Academic Advising Center. Appointments can be made through the AdvisorTrac beginning in November by using the Get Registered portal.
All first-time freshmen admitted for the summer or fall term have two options for scheduling classes: 1) Summer Orientation and Academic Registration (SOAR), or 2) Academic Advising Center. SOAR is an overnight orientation experience that is designed to introduce you to the university and ease your transition into college life, while also getting you registered for the semester. Additional information about SOAR, available dates, and schedules are available on their webpage.
The Academic Advising Center gives students and families a shorter option through a three hour session. This abbreviated registration option includes an orientation session and a one-on-one meeting with an advisor to register for classes. Go to Get Registered to schedule your appointment with the Academic Advising Center.
