STEP 1: SCHEDULE YOUR ADVISING APPOINTMENT

Your first step is to schedule your Orientation Advising Appointment. Your 30-45 minute individualized appointment with a professional first-year advisor will take place through Zoom. Be sure to schedule a time when you are free of distractions and have access to a laptop or computer.

 

STEP 2: REVIEW THE INFORMATION ABOUT YOUR MAJOR

Once you have scheduled your appointment, you will be taken to a page with instructions to prepare for your appointment. You will need to review the courses students in your major typically take during their first semester and consider what your first semester schedule will look like. This is also a great time to explore other majors available at Southeastern if you currently undecided or unsure of your major.

 

STEP 3: ATTEND YOUR VIRTUAL ADVISING APPOINTMENT AND SCHEDULE YOUR CLASSES

During your appointment, the advisor will:

1) Get to you know you and your plans for the upcoming semester.

2) Review with you your Math and English placement, previously earned credit, and other factors that may influence the courses you will schedule your first semester.

3) Review the First Semester Advising Guide and recommended courses for you to schedule. 

4) Prepare you for registration and assist you with scheduling your classes. To maximize your opportunity to schedule, be sure to join your appointment at a location where you can focus and have access to a laptop or computer

 

If you have already been advised and have registered but need to make changes to your schedule, email fys@southeastern.edu to request to make changes. Be sure to include your name, W#, major, and the changes you would like to  make.
