Come prepared for your appointment.
Bring a copy of your long-range plan and updated checklist your advisor previously provided, and a list of the courses you plan to add to your schedule. Review your online degree audit (PAWS-Degree Works) and be aware of the remaining requirements/courses for your program.
Check your EIU email!
Announcements and personal messages from university offices, instructors, and advisors will be sent to your EIU email (panthermail) account.

What is required for my program of study?

Your advisor will assist you with understanding your catalog and curriculum requirements by using a checklist. Feel free to ask your advisor for an updated copy during your registration advisement appointment.
