Academic Advising
Part-time students (enrolling for 11 or fewer credits in Spring 2013) are urged to seek advising but it is not mandatory.
Full-time students (enrolling for 12 or more credits in Spring 2013) need an advisor approval code to register (details at www.bucks.edu/advising) or they submit their Registration Form or a note signed by their advisor at the time of their in-person registration.
You may:
- schedule an in-office advising appointment (many faculty post sign-up sheets on their office doors) or
- visit an advising center near you or
- visit the Newtown office of the Academic Department that offers your major to request an advising appointment.
