Advising
From your first semester through graduation, you’ll have two types of advising support.
New students
If you’re a new freshman or transfer student, start with New to Blue orientation. You’ll meet your advisor, register for your first courses, and learn how campus works.

When to see your academic advisor:
- Course registration and schedule planning
- Degree audit reviews

- Academic probation or early alerts
