Monday, March 22 is the beginning of Advisement Week so mark those calendars!
All undergraduate students will be required to receive academic advisement prior to registration. Academic advisement will be provided by the student’s faculty advisor. An academic advisement hold will be placed on the student’s account until they have met with their advisor. Students can access their advisor information by logging into their KeanWISE account and clicking on the link to Search Office Hours by Faculty/Advisor Name. (The link will only provide students with their advisor information based on the primary major of choice and secondary majors.)
Students with a second major or content area will have a second major advisement held on their account until they have met with their second advisor. Students can access their second advisor information by visiting the Academic Listing. If the course a student is trying to register for states “Approved Petition Required”, the student must contact that academic department to receive approval for the course.
Make a virtual appointment with a faculty advisor for their program through the Kean Student Experience. After meeting with one’s academic advisor, it is helpful to have the following on hand:
Personal Program Evaluation - can be accessed through KeanWISE
A list of five courses in the desired degree program to enroll in for Fall 2021.
1-2 additional "safety" courses in the case that one of the preferred courses is already filled
Registration: After meeting with an advisor, register for Fall 2021 classes via KeanWISE. This video offers step-by-step instructions for course registration in KeanWISE.
Financial Aid: If there have been changes to a personal financial situation due to COVID-19, schedule a virtual meeting with a financial aid counselor who can provide information to update one’s FAFSA.
Once all holds are resolved, the process for registration can begin. This video offers step-by-step instructions for course registration via KeanWISE.
