Advising + Registration

Advising and Registration: When to Cross the Veil
The most important dates of your academic afterlife are just around the corner! Mark your calendars, or better yet, carve them into a pumpkin:

• Declared Students with 30+ credits: Tuesday, November 4th
• First Year (less than 30 credits) and all Undeclared Students: Wednesday, November 12th

How to Prepare for Your Advising Appointment (Don't Be a Ghoul)
Please follow the steps below. Failure to prepare may result in a horrifying advising session. 

• ALL Students: Unearth and Review your Degree Audit.
  Find it: MyMCAD → Academic Advising → View more details → Degree Audit Report PDF. Don't show up without knowing what you need, or we might just make you take a mandatory course in "Existential Dread and Drawing."
• ALL Students: Review the Course Schedule (Friday, October 24th!)
  When it drops, you can download the full, thrilling schedule on MyMCAD→ Registration Or, search by department under MyMCAD → Registration → Course Search. Be sure to check for prerequisites! Trying to register without the prerequisite is like trying to fight a werewolf with a pool noodle. Bonus Tip: Check out the Advising and Registration Guide. It's got the answers to many of your questions—it’s like a cheat sheet for avoiding eternal academic damnation.
• UNDECLARED Students: Consult the Oracle (aka Sample Degree Audits).
  If you're still wandering through the fog, review the Sample Degree Audits for the Majors you are most interested in. Find them: Intranet → Resources → Academic Advising. Take a peek! 
• UNDECLARED Students who are not currently in FYE: Sign up for a GROUP ADVISING APPOINTMENT! 
  If you haven’t already, choose a date and time that works for you (Tannah’s email holds the sacred map!). One slot only! Don't be greedy. And seriously, do not edit someone else’s slot—that's a major spectral faux pas.
  **Bring your laptop to your appointment!** Otherwise, we'll have to communicate via ouija board, and that really slows things down.

Thank you for preparing for your advising appointment. Your preparedness helps us serve you better! (And frankly, it makes the experience less terrifying for all of us.)

Have a spoooooky week, and may your nightmares be creatively inspiring!
