Use the Advisor Lists depending on which kind of student you are (Freshman or Transfer) and look for your major.

Next to each major is the Academic Advisor or Student Success Administrator who will assist you with getting classes for the spring semester. Completing this step prior to attending the in-person orientation session will enable you to finish the program approximately an hour earlier.
