Provided below are some tips to help you prepare for your advisement and course registration.
Our Advisors
Tips for preparing for an advisement appointment:
- Review your JagTrax degree audit to ensure there are no discrepancies with your credits and how they are
satisfying requirements for your degree.
- Keep an updated copy of your academic program’s track sheet and program pathway to bring to your advisement appointment. Students can request a program track sheet
from their Academic Advisor.
- Anticipate building a balanced schedule with a target of 15-16 credit hours each term. Note: this may not be possible for students with large loads of advanced placement,
dual enrollment or transfer credit.
- Write down questions that you wish to address with your Advisor during your advising
appointment.
Tips for preparing for registration:
- Review the course suggestions that you and your advisor discussed. If you have questions
or would like to make changes, contact your Advisor prior to your registration date.
- Ensure that you know when your registration date is. To view your registration date:
- Log into POUNCE.
- Click “Student.”
- Click “Registration.”
- Click “Registration Menu.”
- Select "View Registration Information."
- Resolve any holds you may have that would prevent your registration. Holds Information can be found on the Registrar’s website under the “Students” tab at the top.
- Create your schedule in either Schedule Planner or POUNCE Registration. This should
be done BEFORE your registration day.
- When in doubt, contact your Advisor as soon as you encounter problems either with scheduling or registering.
