When to Meet with Advisers
You are encouraged to meet with an adviser as often as you like. You aren’t required to meet with an adviser to be cleared for course registration, however, most students meet with an adviser at least once a semester (typically prior to course registration).
Learn About Post-Graduation Options
Whether you are on the fence about taking the LSAT, you have been abiding by the pre-health curricular recommendations since your first semester, or thinking of pursuing an MBA, these helpful resources will help you learn more about your post-baccalaureate options and how to best prepare now and throughout your college career.
