For additional support, students can contact their advisor before registration opens to discuss their progress. Advisors are excellent guides providing insight into class choices and career paths. After students have met with their advisor, the remaining steps on this page will guide them through the registration process. Students can find their advisor's contact information in STARS under the Student Services tab.
