College of Arts and Sciences: Advising Information 
If you are a student in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences (CLAS), you will have received emails regarding a Course Placement Questionnaire as well as a CLAS Transfer Onboarding module in Brightspace through your Villanova email address. The Course Placement Questionnaire is a survey for your course preferences, which is required so that your schedule can be created. After that, transfer students must complete the CLAS Transfer Onboarding module in Brightspace, which includes four informational videos with a required quiz after each one. CLAS transfer students must watch these videos and complete the respective quizzes with a grade of 80% or better to proceed to the next section in the module. Once successfully completed, students will have access to register for a required group Zoom meeting in Brightspace that is necessary for all CLAS transfers over the summer months.
