Incoming Students

Incoming students’ schedules are prepared by the university’s advising team, with specific regard for students’ academic background and curricular requirements.  New students are encouraged to complete the “Pre-Enrollment Survey” distributed by the Admissions Office.  This survey allows students to share important information with advisors, which is helpful to the registration process.

Incoming students receive access to their proposed course plan and schedule by the beginning of August.  Instructions are shared by the Admissions Office for accessing schedules and communicating with an advisor regarding questions.
