During Navigate Armstrong, will I be able to register for Fall 2008 classes?

Yes. The cornerstone of Navigate Armstrong is faculty advisement and registration. Simply put, when you leave for home at the end of the session you will have met with a faculty advisor to discuss and create a Fall 2008 class schedule, and have been coached through the registration process using S.H.I.P., the online Student Help Information Process.

Throughout the day, you will learn about academic requirements, choosing a major, core curriculum requirements, and how to choose your courses. Based on the information from your admissions application, and on the information you submit during online registration for Navigate Armstrong, our department faculty and trained academic advisors will help you create a schedule that we think will work best for your first semester. When you leave us at the end of the day, you will have your Fall 2008 class schedule in hand.

Can I stay on campus during my Navigate Session?

Yes! We invite you to stay on-campus the night before your Navigate Armstrong session and participate in a host of activities planned to enhance your campus life experience. Our apartment-style residence halls are available on a first come first serve basis for students attending a Navigate Armstrong session.
