Advising and Course Registration Process 

The advising and course selection process at a college is uniquely different from anything you will have previously experienced. There are many more choices at a college with more than 43 majors and concentrations and hundreds of courses offered each semester. You will need to take more responsibility than you may have in the past in understanding the academic requirements, College policies and procedures. Since you choose your major, you will need to invest more time and energy in determining and/or refining your academic and career goals. Because of the numerous choices and the complexity of College requirements, schedules and processes, it is essential that you work closely with your academic adviser.

During New Student Orientation, NSO, you will get a general overview of academic information and the advising process and meet with an academic adviser to select and register for your first semester course schedule.  Family members and guests will also have an opportunity to learn about academic life and the advising process at Reinhardt College.  However, the academic life session for family and guests will be held separately from the student session because we want each student and his/her adviser to work together as the student learns to make more independent choices.

Both first-time freshmen and transfer students will meet with an Academic Advisor and will leave their NSO sessions with their Spring Class Schedule in hand.
