Academic Reminders
Have you checked in with your pre-major/major advisor recently? Now is a great time to reach out to them with an update on your semester or with questions about your current courses and planning for future semesters.
This is also a great time to check in with your A&S, Engineering, or SMFA advising team. Additionally, A&S students can stop by drop-in advising with any quick questions about advising, courses, or academic requirements.
