Academics and Advising

Once you submit your enrollment deposit and confirm your attendance at 老王论坛, you will be assigned an academic adviser. Your academic adviser will be a faculty member in your major who is responsible for helping you register for courses each semester.

Please note that you will be unable to register for some of your courses until you complete your Math and Writing placement exams.

You will also have the opportunity to meet with an academic adviser during summer SOAR and register for courses at that time. We look forward to connecting with you!

  3. Create a draft schedule of your first semester in the Plan Ahead section of your Registration Dashboard.
  4. Contact your adviser via email or phone to schedule your advising appointment. Your adviser will review your draft schedule and provide you with a PIN, which allows you to register. Please note that many academic faculty may be out of the office during the summer; if your adviser is unavailable, you may also reach out to ugaa@iit.edu to schedule an advising appointment.
  5. Officially register for your courses using Banner Student Self Service.

Please note you cannot register for MATH 151 or COM 101/COM 111 until the appropriate academic placement assessments are completed.

Throughout your time at 老王论坛, your adviser will be your go-to person for all your questions about which classes to take and how to best align your course schedule in order to make sure you鈥檙e on track to graduate on time. Academic advisers can also assist with questions about choosing a specialization, adding a minor, or applying for one of 老王论坛鈥檚 special degree programs (these, for example, allow you to complete a B.S. and master鈥檚 degree in as few as five years).
