Now’s the time to start thinking about visiting your advisor for winter term planning. Many advisors have already sent out emails to ONID accounts explaining how to go about scheduling an advising appointment. So, be sure to read your ONID email! If you haven’t yet heard from your advisor send a message or stop by his or her office. You’ll need to set up an advising appointment and the sooner the better! If you don’t know when you’re eligible for Phase 1 registration, check Online Student Services. Your first eligable registration date is listed in the “Registration” section. If you’re a FOM, FE, or FE/CE student and don’t remember who your advisor is, visit the FERM Department Office in Peavy 204.
