2. Meet with your advisor to discuss your course schedule. Be sure to prepare for the meeting by looking over your Transcript, Degree Advice Report, Biology Course Directory, and advising worksheet. Your advisor will have your registration code, though you may email Ben to ask any additional questions.

For students CURRENTLY abroad:

Schedule a phone/video meeting with your advisor or email back and forth regarding your course schedule. Once a set of courses has been mutually decided on, your advisor can provide you with your registration code.

For students who are GOING abroad:

If you are planning to study abroad in the upcoming semester, you should still attend a First Year Advising Meeting or meet with your advisor to go over your plan for next semester and the semester you return to campus. Given current uncertainties around travel, it is important to register for a backup plan of courses for next semester in case you do not end up going abroad.
