You must meet with an advisor at least once per semester to receive authorization or “clearance” to register for the next semesters classes. Your advisor will either be the Econ Department Academic Advisor or a member of the Faculty assigned to you. Check your email for advising assignments prior to each semester’s advanced registration period.

Faculty Advising: For the period of Advance Registration each semester, you may be assigned a faculty member for clearance and schedule advising. This will generally happen when you are a continuing major who is close to or above 60 total credits, i.e. Junior status. Each assigned faculty advisor has their own method of clearing and advising you, but contact with them at the appropriate time will be YOUR RESPONSIBILITY.
For all other matters pertaining to your academic career as an economics major, please contact or make an appointment with the Academic Advisor for Economics. See above.
