Home > First Year Advising

All students are required to work with First Year Advising prior to the semester in which they will complete 24 credits.

First year students are required to schedule an appointment/workshop with a college advisor within the semester of pursuing completion of 24 credits (See contacts below) 

College advisors will acclimate you to your major & advise you until graduation.  
(Undecided students will be advised by a College of Arts & Sciences advisor)

Prior to attending a required meeting with your college advisor you will have an "AV" college advising registration hold.  After meeting your college advisor this hold is removed and you will be permitted web registration via GULFLINE 

* Web registration via Gulfline for students with 0-29 earned hours for the Summer & Fall 2008 semesters will open April 3, 2008.

* If you have an academic notice hold your college advisor will have to assist with your registration as this hold will prevent you from web registering in Gulfline yourself.

* To access opening dates for future registration review Eagle Registration information
