Advising

The BLS Degree Program strives to provide academic advising to all BLS students in order to ensure a productive and satisfying undergraduate experience. Since academic advising is the cornerstone to disseminating the most up-to-date information to students, all returning students are required to meet with an academic advisor prior to registering for classes each semester. Registration times are based on the number of completed credits at the time of advanced registration. See the following link for specific registration times.
