Freshmen:
All first-semester freshmen are required to make a 30-minute appointment with their academic advisor. During this appointment, you can check-in with your advisor about how your current coursework is going, discuss major exploration, and talk about engagement opportunities you are considering. You may also want to review your APAS if you are unsure which liberal education or major coursework you have completed. We also encourage you to discuss your adjustment to the U, and ask any questions you have about academic or support resources you need. Another goal of this appointment is to prepare you for Spring 2014 registration by discussing which courses you may want to register for when your enrollment time comes.
Most freshmen will not register for courses until the end of November, but you should plan to schedule your appointment by mid-November to ensure you will be able to register on time. To schedule an appointment, please call the Academic Advising Office at 612-624-2890 or use online scheduling at cseadvising.appointments.umn.edu
Freshmen students who have sophomore standing based on previous credit earned still must meet one-on-one with their advisor.
Sophomores:
All sophomores will need to attend a Sophomore Registration Workshop in order to have their OA Holds removed. Sophomores are not required to meet one-on-one with an advisor in addition to the workshop. During this workshop, you will have a brief presentation by advisors related to engagement, the application to your major process, and important deadlines. In addition, you will work independently, and then with a partner, to plan your Spring 2014 semester schedule. To sign up for a registration workshop, please call the Academic Advising Office at 612-624-2890.
