Advising & Registration

Advising

As a new student in this department, you will be assigned an adviser at the beginning of your freshman year. This individual will guide you through the requirements for a baccalaureate degree. If needed, they’ll refer you to other university services such as the Tutoring and Academic Assistance Center. This person may also serve as a good resource for information on postgraduate programs in your area of interest. Advisers are also a good starting point for looking at career options.

Pre-Med & Pre-Health Advising

Additional advising is available for students interested in health profession careers. Please refer to the Pre-Med & Pre-Health Programs for more information about pre-health studies at the University of Idaho.

Registration

All undergraduate students must speak with an adviser before registering. Please email questions to the  academic advising center in order to do so.   You may also be advised at the off campus centers located in Boise, Idaho Falls, and Coeur d’Alene. If you opt for off campus advising, please then contact the academic advising center so that they may review the courses you have selected and set up a permanent advising file for you.

Instructions for online registration are found at Advising & Registration. Please refer to the applicable planning sheet listed under Undergrad Resources to get an idea of the courses you should take during your freshman year.
