Advising

Whether you're registering for classes, exploring majors, planning your degree, or preparing for graduation, your academic advisor is here to help. The CASE advising team provides personalized guidance to help you make informed decisions, stay on track, and achieve your academic and career goals.

Meet with an advisor online or visit us at the Modesto A. Maidique Campus (MMC) or Biscayne Bay Campus (BBC)—we're here to support you every step of the way.

All College of Arts, Sciences & Education majors with questions should contact their assigned advisors or book an appointment through the Panther Success Network, email caseadvising@fiu.edu or call 305-348-2978 (Monday-Friday 8:30 am - 4:30 pm).

Helpful 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.
