Pre-Advising Period

Pre-advising takes place in the month before Registration Week where you actually sign up for classes. Your advisor will tell you what day and time you can start registering for classes.

During this time, advisors will post appointment schedules, generally on their office doors, for advisees to sign up for appointments. If you do not meet with your advisor, you will not have your Registration PIN number (Alternate PIN) which you need if you are going to sign up for classes online.

Not sure who your advisor is? Check with the department secretary of your major, or with the Registrar.   Go to the Registrar's web site, click on the link to the upcoming semester's course information, and there will be a link to "Who is my advisor?". Find your name on the list, and you will be able to see who your advisor is.

If you are a Pre-Major, your advising will be done through the Academic Advising Center located on the third floor of the Hammond Building. There are appointment sign up sheets on a table.

Students can meet with the EHP Academic Counselor to learn the advising system, to learn how to access Web4, learn how to read their Degree Evaluation, and come up with a tentative class schedule prior to meeting with their assigned advisor.

 

Registration Period

You will not be able to complete final registration without meeting with your Faculty/Professional Advisor.  However, if you would like to meet with the EHP Academic Counselor to review your course options or Degree Evaluation prior to meeting with your faculty advisor, please call (978) 665-3576 (X3576 on campus).  Check the Seats Listing for course availability.

If you would like to view your Degree Evaluation on your own, please go to Web4

Getting a Bachelor's Degree is a two-part process. There are the courses you need for your major area and the courses you need for the Liberal Arts and Science (LA&S) portion of the degree. Whatever major you are enrolled in, it is important that you know and understand the system you are dealing with. The Academic Advising Center web site has copies of the suggested four-year plans of study for the different majors; by looking at the four-year plan, you can see suggestions, by semester, for courses to take for your major.

If you would like to learn the FSC system, please contact the EHP Academic Pre-Advisor at x3576 to set up an appointment.
