During Navigate Armstrong, will I be able to register for Fall 2010 classes?
Yes. The cornerstone of new student orientation is faculty advisement and registration.
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 2010 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 2010
class schedule in hand.

session for an additional fee of $40.00. You will have the opportunity to participate in a host of activities planned to enhance your campus
life experience. Our apartment-style residence halls are available on a first
