We want students to be connected to departments early to ensure a smooth transfer transition. At your leisure please review the learning outcomes for transfer appointments. During the advising appointments, we recommend structuring your time to include the following:

  1. Begin the discussion around applying for a major and identifying the student’s area of interest.
  2. First-quarter class registration - balance schedule, credit load, courses needed, back-up course option.
  3. Transfer credits and final transcripts (making sure they have been submitted)
  4. Answer general questions from the student and plans for success (study abroad and how they make it fit, double majoring, minors, denied from competitive major - what’s next, etc.)
  5. Course registration override or add code needs
  6. Register for classes (Group Advising rotation F appointment only)
