Returning Students
Before you register for classes, we recommend you plan your courses with your faculty advisor to make sure you are on the right track.
How do I know who my faculty advisor is?
- Typically this is automatically assigned to you after completing your first semester and based on your program of study.
- You can find out who your faculty advisor is by logging into your student portal and accessing Navigate 360.
