What to expect from Pre-Registration Advisor Meetings

COME PREPARED

Take advantage of this time by having a full Shopping Cart of course options. 

 

Get ready by completing Emory Essentials 2 and thinking through the courses/paths you might take at Emory. You should have a couple of questions to ask your advisor. 

Group sessions with 2-3 other students (plus yourself) give you the opportunity to connect and learn from one another.

Virtual sessions are held over Video Conferencing, meaning your advisor will be able to see you. Try your best to ensure this is a great first impression! 

Expect time to ask questions and to explore various resources on your own. The sessions are meant to be interactive and give you the tools to complete Registration!
