How Advising Works

All students have a Student Success Team:

  • University Advisor based on their program of study
  • Faculty Advisor based on their major program
  • Financial Aid Counselor
  • All First Year students will have a First Year Mentor, who is the faculty member teaching their section of UNI 101.

Your University Advisor:

  • Discuss  academics & career information
  • Set goals for success
  • Review degree requirements and progress towards graduation
  • Connect students with academic support services 
  • Empower you to become a self-advocate
  • Encourage involvement with campus activities
  • Develop effective decision-making and problem-solving skills

Prepare for Advisement & Registration

To ensure a successful registration, you will need to use:

  • DegreeWorks
  • Your 4-Year Program Plan
  • Browse Classes

Degree Works helps prepare you for your advisement appointment because it tells you exactly what courses you need to take to fulfill your degree requirements.

Note: Your advisor writes notes in DegreeWorks! Scroll to the bottom of the page to see notes from your previous advising meetings.


Your major’s 4-Year Program Plan ensures you’re staying on track with your major’s sequencing. 


Once you know what requirements and classes you need, search for available classes in Browse Classes. Write down a list of 5-8 classes to review with your advisor. 

Register for Classes

After meeting with your advisor, you should have all the tools you need to successfully register for classes. 

Enroll at your appointed time: don’t put off registration past your priority registration date. You should enroll in classes as soon as you’re allowed. The earlier you register, the better your choices.

Be flexible: If you really want a class, be flexible about the section and the time. If a course you want is closed, add something in its place but keep checking the system to see if a seat eventually opens.
