New Student Orientation: Academic Advising & First Semester Course Planning
WELCOME, NEWLY ADMITTED STUDENTS!
The Academic Advising Center supports undecided/exploring students and prehealth/prelaw students in identifying paths for academic exploration, in developing a plan for their first semester, and navigating their personal journey of learning at the university. We are excited to meet with you as you explore majors at the U!
