New Students Registration and Advisement Tips

As you meet with your adviser and plan your course schedule, we encourage you to...

1. Plan carefully for timely graduation:
   • Take full load (9-12 hrs)
   • Monitor degree printout
   • Take required courses when offered
   • Use summers for make-up if needed
     
     
2. Maintain balance by avoiding overload if:
   • Enrolling on academic probation
   • English is your second language
   • Academic background in major is limited
   • Research and writing skills need improvement
   • Heavy job or family responsibilities
     
     
3. Consider registering for Writing Tutorial or Writing Workshop?
   • Yes, if . . .
     • You have written few papers
     • You want to improve technical skills
     • English is not your first language
