Pre-Registration Advising

During the registration period, you can meet with your main advisor to select courses for the upcoming semester. Finally, this meeting also helps you remove your advising hold.

We provide timely, quality advising to help you build career awareness, succeed academically and enrich your college experience.

When Does Pre-registration Advising Begin?

At the start of each registration period, you’ll receive an email from ISE Academic Advisor Deanna Cardamone through the ISE Undergraduate Listserv. The email explains how to complete the steps needed to remove your advising hold.

Fall pre-registration begins after Fall Break. Spring pre-registration begins after Spring Break.

The Advising Compact

As the student, you commit to:

  • Take ownership of your education and stay actively involved in your academic progress.
  • Next, you keep up to date with university, college and department curriculum requirements.
  • In addition, you consult with academic advisors during each pre-registration period and at other times when needed.
  • Moreover, review the ISE Advising web page and the ISE Resource Guide before sending an email.
  • Then, you use the appropriate forms so the advising team can assist you more effectively.
  • Also, you arrive at advising appointments prepared with the required paperwork and completed forms.
  • Finally, you check your degree audit before and after enrollment and each semester to track your progress.

ISE PRO TIP: First, review the advising team’s most recent announcements and documentation. By doing this, you stay informed about current instructions and important updates. As a result, you can follow the correct steps and avoid confusion.

In addition, checking the latest information helps you understand the requirements and deadlines more clearly. Therefore, you can complete forms, prepare for advising meetings and make academic decisions with greater confidence.
