Advising and Registration

In our department all students must be advised to remove registration holds. Our goal is to make sure that our students are aware of the pre-requisites, course availabilities, transfer credits, etc. We always try to advise student in advance of the day on which registration begins. Feel free to drop by this week for advising.
