Group Advising: Preparing for the Enrollment Windows & Class Registration

Various dates throughout the month of July

Head to Alex's Buff Portal Advising Calendar to sign up to attend a Group Advising: Preparing for Enrollment Windows session in July. During this session we will discuss your pre-enrolled schedule, choosing appropriate math and science classes for the fall, adding other classes to your schedule, adding classes to your Shopping Cart, and the registration process once your Enrollment Window opens. It's recommended to attend a Group Advising session the week before your Enrollment Window so the information is still fresh when you are preparing for registration and completing the registration process.
