Jackalope interviews SFUAD Academic Advisor Amanda Vanlandingham in this audio-visual story.

With registration underway, SFUAD’s Academic Advising is holding a series of workshops to help students pick their classes for the spring semester. Jackalope spoke to Academic Advisor Elecia Hadley, who offered these five tips: Attend the registration workshops; not everyone will be able to meet one on one with Academic Advising. Students should check and see if they have a hold on their accounts. If there is a hold on an account, the student should talk to Jeremy Hadley, school cashier. Look over the courses being offered before the registration date. Students should look at their degree audits to make educated choices when picking classes. Degree audits can be accessed through the student portal under the registration tab. Take the recommended classes. Stick to the plan; it was put in place for a reason. During the week of registration, there will be a sign-up sheet for students wanting to meet with the advisors, however space and time is limited. Students who attend the workshops will have a better understanding of their education goals and the classes they need to take. Registration starts the week of Nov. 10; the senior class will be able to add classes on the Nov. 10, juniors on Nov. 11, sophomores on Nov. 12, and freshmen on Nov. 13  ...
