How to Prepare for Advising & Registration! 

  1. Review online advising resources:
    • Academic Programs at Pacific | Start thinking about possible areas of study (majors, minors, and/or graduate school prerequisites).
    • | Look up program and degree requirements.
    • Advising Handbook | Review advising tips and guidelines for each program. Pay attention to prerequisites and sequencing guidelines for courses.
    • > Search for Classes | Review next year's class schedule and search for classes you may want to take.
  2. Know your 51³Ô¹Ï Net ID (your username) and password so that you can log on to BoxerOnline and Moodle on your Advising & Registration Day.
  3. Know your fall work or athletics schedule so you can schedule classes around those times if needed.
  4. Prepare to let your advisor know about any prior college credits you have received or AP/IB exams you have passed. Request official copies of transcripts and score reports, and make sure you can access copies of college transcripts for dual enrollment credits.
  5. Write down a list of questions to ask your advisor.

Tips for In Person Advising & Registration

  • Bring a laptop or tablet and charger. (Phone screens are too small for easily navigating BoxerOnline and registering for classes.)
  • Review Pacific's campus maps ( or online/interactive) and your schedule for the day to know where you will need to be and at what time (give yourself a few extra minutes). 

Tips for Virtual Advising & Registration

  • Make sure you have steady internet access for the entire day and a quiet, private space for your one-hour Advising Appointment (wear earbuds if needed, turn on your webcam if possible).
  • Use a laptop or tablet for your advising appointment (phone screens are too small for easily screen sharing and navigating BoxerOnline).
  • ahead of time.
  • Be prepared to share your screen during your advising appointment. Mac users will need to enable screen sharing before you join the meeting under System Preferences > Privacy & Security > Screen & System Audio Recording, enable for Zoom.
