Advising

Chemistry Advisors will meet with students to discuss course sequences and future plans, as well as remove Academic Advising Holds from your Spire account. Be sure that you bring your projected class schedule and completed checklist to the advisement meeting. It is important that students register as soon as possible during the assigned period, therefore you should schedule a meeting with your before your assigned registration period. If students do not register at this time, they may find it impossible to register for a required course. Remember that it is the student's responsibility to see that departmental, college, and university requirements are satisfied.

When meeting with your advisor, please bring with you:
