Students must choose "subject selections" prior to meeting with your advisor. If you have pre-registered, those subjects will appear already. You may edit those selections at any point after the Registration period opens on January 26.</li><li style="font-family: Calibri, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; color: rgb(33, 33, 33); margin: 0in;">
For students in course 5-7 and 6-7 only one advisor shows up on WebSIS, and it will be the course 5 or 6 advisor.</li><li style="font-family: Calibri, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; color: rgb(33, 33, 33); margin: 0in;">
Course 5-7 and 6-7 majors are encouraged to meet with both advisors during registration. Either advisor can approve subject selections and add drops.</li><li style="font-family: Calibri, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; color: rgb(33, 33, 33); margin: 0in;">
Students who have a double major whose primary major is in another department will meet with their primary course advisors for online approval. However, a meeting between these students and their Course 7 advisors during the registration period is encouraged.</li><li style="font-family: Calibri, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; color: rgb(33, 33, 33); margin: 0in;">
Advisors can approve subject selections when a hold is present. However, a student cannot submit a registration form when a hold is present. To clear a hold, the student must visit the office(s) that initiated the hold. </li></ul>
