  • Develop your knowledge of the degree requirements for your major during your academic program.
  • Be aware of the correct sequencing of courses in order to graduate by your preferred graduation date.
  • Grow in your ability to make decisions concerning the courses for which you register each semester in order to complete the program by your preferred graduation date.
  • Develop the ability to know what you need to register for each semester and to complete your registration forms before coming for advising.
  • Seek out advising to resolve any doubts and concerns concerning program requirements and scheduling before the registration period begins.
  • Utilize your Barry University email account, the official method of communication for the University and the School of Business.
  • Know that academic advisors will make schedule adjustments based on semester grades in keeping with the University's academic policies concerning course load and required prerequisite courses.
  • Become familiar with and use the Web Advisor system for registration, grade reports, class schedule, and financial aid.
