New to College? How College Advising is Different from High School
High School
- Schedules are created for you
- Counselors clearly monitor progress
- Parents are directly involved
College
- You choose your classes with guidance from Advisor
- You are responsible for deadlines and decisions
- Advisors support – they don’t manage
- Federal privacy laws limit parent access
Your First Advising Appointment
Once you’ve established English and math placements you can connect with Advising to schedule your First Advising Appointment (call 603-427-7728 or email [email protected] with your availability).Â
When you meet with an advisor for the first time, the discussion normally covers:
- Your long-term goals (graduation, transfer, etc.)
- Whether you want to attend full-time or part-time
- Which courses fit your schedule and placement results
- Different class formats (in-person, remote, online)
- How to get your textbooks and course materials
- What your advisor will do in future semesters
Registering for One or Two Classes Only
If you’re not pursuing a full degree but want to take a class or two, you can register as a non-matriculated student. You must contact the Advising & Transfer Center for help.
Financial aid does not apply to non-matriculated students.
