Advising

Students are not required to meet with advisers prior to registration, but may do so if information is needed before selecting courses for the next semester. Advisers will be available for consultation during registration to advise students who will be registering. Undecided majors who have selected a school will be advised in that school. Enrolled students who are undecided as to their major or career choice may obtain career counseling from the Office of Career Services, 281-283-2590.

Students should also check with advisers to seek approval to register for courses that are controlled or require permission.

Availability of Courses

The university cannot guarantee that courses listed in the schedule will be available. Registration for a particular section will be permitted only until available classroom space has been filled.
