    • Check your degree audit periodically to track progress toward graduation and contact your academic adviser if there are problems. If a problem does arise, get help immediately.

Meeting Your Adviser

Before you meet your adviser, enter the classes you plan to take for the next three semesters into your Pack Planner. Each semester starts with an advising hold placed on your student account. The Advising Hold is released by meeting with your adviser. Once the release has been issued, you can register for classes when your enrollment appointment arrives.
