Don't worry, you will have a chance to review and adjust your schedule when you meet with an advisor. However, you should attempt to complete as much of your schedule as possible prior to this meeting.

To be considered a full-time student you must register for at least 12 credit hours. Students are encouraged to take 15-17 credit hours each semester to stay on track for graduation.

5. Meet with an Academic Advisor ASAP.

Once you have completed PREP and registered for classes, you will receive an email to schedule your required New Student Advising appointment*. New Student Advising appointments are conducted via Zoom and provide you an opportunity to review and adjust your class schedule as needed. Advising meetings are available all summer, but if you haven't completed New Student Advising by July 31st, please contact UC Advising ASAP at 828 262-2167 for assistance.

Please note it may take 1-2 days after you start class registration to receive your email to make your advising appointment.
