Step 1  Make an appointment

You must make an advising appointment in advance by signing up on the appointment sheet posted on your advisor’s office door.  Do not phone or email for an appointment.

Step 2  Prepare for your Advising appointment

• Access your CNU Live account to check for holds that may prevent registration (parking fines, library. fines, etc)
• Print an unofficial transcript to take to your appointment.
• Print a Registration Worksheet to be used in planning your schedule.  *A signed registration form is required to obtain your PIN.
• Use your catalog as a guide to the courses required for the Liberal Learning Core and your major.  Determine courses you need/want before you meet with your advisor. 
• Use the Schedule of Classes to plan your schedule.  Put your desired classes and alternates on the registration form. 

Step 3  Be on time for your appointment

Take your unofficial transcript and registration form with you to your advising appointment.  Be ready to explain your choices. If you are late or miss your appointment, your advisor may not have another time available to see you until after your registration date.  Your academic advisor, or the departmental secretary, will provide you with your alternate (registration) pin, if needed, after your advising appointment.
