ROAD Virtual Registration and Advising

At your ROAD Virtual Registration and Advising session, you will meet your first-year academic advisor, who will help you choose and register for your fall courses.

In order to best help you, we need information about your interests and academic experiences. Follow the steps on the ROAD checklist to get tech-ready, complete your pre-advising questionnaire, and take placement tests.

Note: The ROAD Checklist is only for U.S. students who have made their enrollment deposit.

International students and U.S. students living abroad need to follow the instructions provided by the International Admissions Office.
Transfer students need to follow the instructions provided by the Registrar’s Office, and you can refer to the Transfer Student Checklist.

The Registrar’s Office and your first-year advisor will review your information in advance of meeting you, so that they can best advise you about your fall course selection.

We look forward to assisting you and can’t wait to welcome you to campus!

Dates and Times

Choose the date that works best for you, and complete the ROAD checklist steps before the sign-up deadline.
Registration and advising will take place on each date between 9:45 a.m. and 5 p.m. Please block out that entire time on your calendar. Your individualized, assigned appointment will be sent to you one week before your selected date, and that time cannot be changed.

Thank you for your patience as we carefully match you with the best advisor based on your academic interests. Please note that these sessions are for students only.
