First Year Advising

First Year Advising is a mandatory advising program for first year students that covers General Education and graduation requirements. The program is implemented in three phases:
Phase 1: New Student Orientation –guidance through course selection and registration.
Phase 2:  First Semester advising, either by trained peer mentors if enrolled in FYE courses, or by staff advisors in the Academic Advising & Career Center.
Phase 3: Second Semester advising is completed in the Academic Advising & Career Center. Students review their academic progress, General Education and graduation requirements with an advisor.  Advisors also assist students with general questions, interpreting academic policies, and referrals to campus resources specific to their needs.
