Academic Advising

After the open add/drop period ends each semester, an advisor hold is placed in your KSIS Student Center. If you want to make a change to your schedule (add or drop a class), contact your academic advisor about making the change. Also, you are required to meet with your academic advisor each semester before you enroll for classes. This is a time for you to ask questions and to be sure you are on track within your academic program.
