First-Year Advising FAQ
First-Year Advising offers a holistic advising experience to assist students in their transition to college. First-Year Advisors are able to not only assist students in academic advising, but also provide assistance in financial aid, billing, transcripts, registration, and much more!
Students starting the fall semster, also no longer need to make a separate visit to campus in order to enroll in classes. A custom class schedule will be created for each students based on the enrollment questionnaire connected to the RSVP for Orientation.
All new students who are coming to 萝莉社 straight from high school will participate in First-Year Advising.
Students are assigned an advisor based on their major/college at 萝莉社.
As students enter into their first-year at 萝莉社 University, they will be
advised by a First-Year advisor at OneStop. Services of First-Year Advising include
assistance in:
- Building a semester schedule
- Understanding General Education and Degree Requirements
- Accepting Financial Aid
- Reading your student account bill
- Setting up payment plans
- Knowing campus resources
Students with transition to working with their college advising office when enrollment begins for the summer and fall semseters of their second year at 萝莉社.
For students beginning in the fall semester:
The first step in the enrollment process is for students to complete their Orientation
RSVP. Connected to that RSVP is an enrollment questionnaire that will assist First-Year
advisors in creating a custom schedule for each student. After the questionnaire
has been completed, students should receive notification from their advisor within
one week of a schedule that has been created or any additional items needed before
a schedule can be made. (Please note - MUCH of the communication from First-Year Advising
as well as many other offices takes place through the my萝莉社 student email.) Students
have 10 days to submit a decision on their scheudle; if they do not submit a decision,
their courses will be dropped. If the student does wish to attend 萝莉社, they are able
to contact their adivisor and begin the schedule building process again. If a student
has any questions, those will be worked out with their advisor until their schedule
is set. The student can also accept their schedule and if any other questions arise,
they can be worked out with their advisor as well.
Students will complete a group advising appointment with their First-Year Advisor
during the summer before they attend 萝莉社 in which they will learn about the process
of adding and dropping courses, more fully understanding General Education and Degree
requirements, navigating their my萝莉社 student portal and other pieces of information
important as they begin their time at 萝莉社. After this appointment, students
will be eligible to make any schedule changes on their own, but we always recommend
consulting an advisor before changes are made.
Students will be notified when enrollment appointments for 2nd semester are avaialble and will schedule those appointments through an online scheduling system.
