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.
If you need assistance with this step, please contact UC Advising at 828 262-2167.
Within two business days after you complete PREP, you will receive an email invitation with instructions for scheduling your required New Student Advising appointment. While you are waiting to meet with your advisor, go ahead and start registering for classes. The sooner you register, the better chance you will have to get the schedule you want!
New Student Advising appointments are conducted via Zoom and provide you an opportunity to review and adjust your class schedule as needed.
