UNDERGRADUATE ADVISING/PREGEGISTRATION

Only currently enrolled students may preregister. It is essential that students follow the procedures listed below in order to complete the preregistration process:

Students must schedule an advising/preregistration appointment with their advisor during the assigned times. This is the first and most important step of Banner self service registration because at the time of advising the advisor will enter the registration access code to allow access to self service registration. Students will not be able to register on self service if the advisor has not entered the registration access code.

ASSESSMENT

The University-wide assessment program measures progress toward educational outcome goals, promotes improvements in teaching and learning, evaluates the accomplishment of educational and administrative goals, and facilitates continuing review of institutional effectiveness. Students participate in a variety of evaluative activities beginning during the freshman year and extending beyond graduation. Students may be required to take national and locally developed tests and surveys, contribute to portfolios, share ideas in focus groups, respond to interviews, or participate in other ways to improve the education and services provided by the University. Assessments of other aspects of institutional effectiveness are regularly conducted by and through academic and administrative departments.
