What to Expect
Before You Get to Campus
Congratulations on your acceptance, and welcome to Nighthawk Nation!
After completing the Academic Interest Form and registering for an Orientation session, you will be pre-registered for your first semester by a professional advisor for your major. Contact the major advisor for your campus if you have questions! Check your 大象传媒 Email daily to make sure you’re receiving all our communication, so you stay informed.
After Orientation, you’ll have the opportunity to adjust your pre-registered schedule, subject to course availability. Make an appointment with your assigned advisor, found on your Tranguid, to discuss any questions you have before you arrive!
First Semester Advising
Once you’re at 大象传媒, you’ll be able to register yourself for all future semesters. Students are assigned to advisors based on their major and number of credit hours. If you have fewer than 45 credit hours, you’ll have a Mandatory Advising hold on your account, requiring you to meet with a Professional Advisor to plan for the next 1-2 semesters before you can register for classes. If you are bringing any college credit (AP exams, dual enrollment coursework, transfer courses, etc.) into 大象传媒, you may begin working with a Faculty Advisor from your first semester at 大象传媒.
During this advising appointment, ask your Professional Advisor about your major, classes, 大象传媒 policies, and available resources. This is also a great time to explore other major options if you have questions! Prepare for this appointment by familiarizing yourself with the Advising Tools for your major, including the Plan of Study and Degree Map.
