Drop-In Advising - Starting March 13th

To assist our students during Enrollment and Registration periods, The CASE Center for Advising & Student Success will offer 10-minute online Drop-in Advising sessions to address the following:

Enrollment questions
Declaring a CASE major (for students with less than 60 credits earned)

Please note: new students must attend an advising & registration day. For more information, visit Advisingday.fiu.edu

Drop-in advising has been enhanced to accommodate students by area. CASE students will log into one of two Zoom rooms depending on the major or academic area they would like to receive advising for:

Science, Math & Education majors: (Biology, Biochemistry, Chemistry, Earth & Environment, Physics, Mathematics, Sport & Recreation Management, Rehabilitation & Recreational Therapy, Elementary Education, Exceptional Student Education, Early Childhood Education, Sport & Exercise Science, Physical Education)

The CASE Center for Advising & Student Success will also hold one in-person Drop-in session. This will be held in two distinct locations based on the academic major you need assistance with.
In-person drop-in advising is offered on a first-come, first-served basis and may be limited by the number of students we can assist during the scheduled time. Wait times can vary, and we appreciate your understanding if we're unable to meet with everyone during drop-in hours.
If you're unable to attend in person or we reach our capacity, we encourage you to join our virtual advising hours or schedule an appointment via your Panther Success Network.

Helpful Tools
CASE Center for Advising & Student Success is committed to helping you with your advising needs. We encourage you to use the following advising tools for assistance. Browse the following videos for a walk-through of these tools:

Tips:

Class Notes
Make sure to review class notes as they will include important information regarding enrollment requirements or details about the class itself. Some classes are reserved for specific majors or for students pursuing online only programs. Select other sections if you do not meet those requirements.
Class Permissions
If prompted to enter a permission number when enrolling, try the following:
- Leave the permission number box blank
- Hit next
- Enroll
If you are still unable to enroll, review the class notes as there may be instructions or restrictions. You may wish to select a different class or section.
Co-requisites
Some courses have co-requisites, meaning both classes must be taken in the same term. Check the class information to determine if there are co-requisites. Many science lecture courses require the corresponding lab. In order to enroll, both courses (for example, lecture and lab) must be in your shopping cart before enrolling. Both must be open, be free of any enrollment restrictions, and cannot overlap with your existing schedule. If you've already successfully completed one of the co-requisite classes in a prior term, then you'll only need to enroll in the other pending item. Example, if you need to add BSC 2011 (and you already took and passed BSC 2011L), you do not need to have the lab in your shopping cart to enroll in BSC 2011.
Check Your Schedule
You cannot add a class that conflicts with another you've already enrolled in, even if it overlaps by just a few minutes.
Location
Be mindful of the campus you've selected for your coursework.
If you are selecting courses from different campuses in the same day, you should plan on travel time, with a buffer for traffic. Visit FIU Parking's Commuting page for more information on commuting services between campuses and local community.

Semesters are divided into different sessions. See below for a break down.
