First-Semester Advising
Welcome to your first semester as a COBE student!
In an effort to support timely graduation, all College of Business and Economics (COBE) students are required to meet with an advisor each semester. First-semester COBE students will need to attend a First-Semester Advising (FSA) group session to develop a semester plan, review COBE policies and procedures, and discuss academic and career goals. A required advising notification will be placed on student accounts, preventing registration for the following semester until an advising meeting has occurred. After a first-semester session has been completed, students will be able to connect with an advisor on a drop-in basis.
Who should make a first-semester advising appointment?
First-semester advising is designed to target students who are attending their first actual semester of college. Although you may have dual/concurrent credits, AP, IB, or earned an associate degree while in high school, an FSA session is required if this is your first semester attending college after graduating high school.
First-semester transfer students will connect with an advisor during our normal drop-in hours or through a virtual appointment. Please refer to our Advising Hours homepage to connect with an advisor. A transfer student is anyone who has earned college credit after graduating high school.
