Important Advisement Information to Share With Your Student

COBA’s Advisement Process:
1 – Determine Faculty Advisor
Students may determine their Faculty Advisor’s name by logging into their WINGS account and clicking the “Student Services and Financial Aid” link.

2 – Make appointment with Advisor
The student is responsible for scheduling an appointment with their advisor. Each faculty advisor has the option of how to schedule advisement appointments. Most have a sign-up sheet posted on their office door, while others prefer to advise students during their posted office hours. The student simply needs to go by their assigned advisor's office to introduce themselves and determine the preferred advisement process.

3 – Prepare for Advisement Appointment
Prior to advisement appointment, students need to print their current course schedule. Students will need to review the Curriculum Information for their major to decide which courses they need and plan to take for the upcoming semester.

4 – Pick up academic folder from the Student Services Center
Students must have their Student ID card in order to check out their folder. Students need to make sure they get the appropriate registration form before heading to their advisement appointment.

5 – Meet with Faculty Advisor
Students will meet with their Faculty Advisor to review which courses are needed for the next semester. Registration forms must be signed by both the Advisor and the student.

6 – Return folder to Student Services Center and get RAN
After advisement appointment, students will return their advisement folder to the Student Services Center to get their RAN (Registration Access Number). Students will not be able to sign up for classes until they receive their RAN.
