How to Prepare for Advising & Registration!
- 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.
- Know your 51³Ô¹Ï Net ID (your username) and password so that you can log on to BoxerOnline and Moodle on your Advising & Registration Day.
- Know your fall work or athletics schedule so you can schedule classes around those times if needed.
- 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.
- 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.
