Freshman Advising and Registration

• Major Changes: If you are changing majors, please complete the Application Major Change form and notify your advisor before scheduling your appointment. Your schedule may need to be adjusted, and you may be required to meet with a different advisor to review your schedule. 
• No drop-ins: In order to best assist our students, we cannot accommodate drop-in appointments. Please call our office if you’d like to make an in-person appointment.  
• Check for duplicate courses: Inform your advisor as soon as possible if your schedule includes a course for which you will already have earned credit. 
• Be on time for your appointment.
• What to bring: 
• Have a comprehensive list of AP, IB, CLEP, Dual Enrollment, and all other transfer credits you anticipate earning, including pending exam scores. If you are unsure of how your credits may be applied, please refer to the list of transfer credit equivalencies. 
• Bring your questions if you have any, and something to write with. Be prepared to ask questions during your appointment and/or take notes. 

Virtual Appointments

• Appointment Time Zone is Central Time (CT): Virtual advising appointments will be via Google Meet and are in Central Time. 
• Use a computer: Be in front of a computer with a camera and microphone. Please do not use your phone for this appointment, as you will not have access to all of the necessary tools. 
• Check your surroundings: Make sure you have a reasonable amount of privacy with limited distractions. 
• Join on-time, not before: Please join your meeting at the scheduled time and no sooner since there may be an appointment prior to yours.

The ALEKS Placement exam is used for placement in the first math course for new UWF students declaring majors in the Hal Marcus College of Science and Engineering, the Lewis Bear Jr. College of Business, and Exercise Science majors in the Usha Kundu, MD College of Health. To determine which math course (if any) is required for a major, please check the requirements for that major. If your major requires MAC 2233 or MAC 2311 or higher, you must have credit for the prerequisite course. If you have credit via AP, consult the AP Scores for Calculus table. If not, consult with an academic advisor. For additional information, please review the Placement Exam for Mathematics.
