How to Make an Advising Appointment

As a currently enrolled student, you must be advised each term before you pre-register for the next term's classes.

Your advisor will review your progress and discuss course options for your degree requirements; and, you will receive an advisement form with course recommendations. After you have been advised, your advisor will clear you for registration.

Junior and seniors (that is, students who have earned at least 60 hours) should check with their major department the second or third week of the term to determine the advising procedure for that department.

Note: See Departmental Advising for a list of departments that advise their majors before their 60 hours.

To help plan your schedule, you should view the OASIS Schedule of Classes on the Registrar's website and select 7 to 10 courses that you might like to take. The Franklin College offers classes from 8:00 a.m. through 10:45 p.m. in order to achieve flexibility in scheduling and maximum use of facilities.

Advising appointments are times generally reserved for the planning of coursework and “clearing” students to Register, and should be made each semester.

Ways to Make an Appointment
