Advising and Registration

This page is intended to help current students prepare for advisement and course registration. All undergraduate students must be advised before they can register for classes.

Advising Information

Academic Advisors assist students with course selection/progression planning and lift advisement holds. Faculty Advising Fellows play a complementary role by helping students explore and connect with opportunities in their major.

Who is my advisor?

To identify your advisor, log in to Self Service Carolina and click “Student Information” then “Student Profile.” Your advisor’s name is listed under “Primary Advisor.”

Need to meet with your advisor? See your advisor's availability and schedule your appointment online in EAB Navigate.

Academic Advisors advise on course selection and progression planning. They connect students to resources for student success, and provide and refer students to information on career and professional development opportunities. Students meet with their Academic Advisor at least once per semester to be cleared for registration.

Faculty Advising Fellows answer career-related questions that go beyond the knowledge of Academic Advisors.  They help students explore and connect with their fields of study and professional development opportunities through faculty-led programming. Students may want to contact an Advising Fellow for information about undergraduate research, graduate school, or advice on selecting major electives for specific career aspirations.

Advising and Registration Toolbox

Additional advising resources, maintained by the University Advising Center, provide information and how-to videos on major change advising, accessing advising tools, using Self Service Carolina to view your transcript or DegreeWorks degree audit, and a whole lot more. 

Check your account daily leading up to registration to ensure no holds have been placed on your account. Holds are displayed in the upper right corner of your student profile in Self Service Carolina.

If you’re experiencing trouble registering for a specific class, consider these common registration hiccups.

CEC classes have a department designator of AESP, BMEN, CSCE, ECIV, ECHE, ELCT, ITEC, EMCH, or ENCP.

Non-CEC classes have processes and contacts that vary by college.

Challenge the conventional. Create the exceptional. No Limits.
