Then students will meet one-on-one with an advisor to register for classes based on your unique academic and/or career interests.
The rest of Advising & Registration Day will include opportunities to meet with other offices on campus, learn about resources and opportunities to look forward to at Pacific, ask questions, and get to meet other new Pacific students!
