°ÅÀÖÊÓƵ

New Student Advising and Registration Days will start with a live, interactive presentation to guide new students and their supporters through Pacific's degree requirements and strategies for planning your first semester classes. Then, students will meet one-on-one with an advisor to register for classes based on your unique academic and/or career interests.

The rest of Advising & Registration Day will include opportunities to meet with other offices on campus, learn about resources and opportunities to look forward to at Pacific, ask questions, and get to meet other new Pacific students!

Signing Up for Your Advising & Registration Day

Once you have completed the Academic Interest Survey (AIS), you will receive an email to sign up for one Advising & Registration Day. You can choose either virtual (Zoom) or in-person (in Forest Grove). The virtual and in-person experiences will include the same information, so you can choose whichever option is most convenient for you. 

All advising and registration days are filled on a first-come first-served basis and certain dates will fill up. Hold off on making specific plans until you have received confirmation of your Advising & Registration Day. The quicker you complete the new student steps, the quicker you may sign up for Advising and Registration. After signing up, you will receive details about your Advising and Registration Day via your PacificU email. 

Have transfer credits?

During your advising meeting, you will receive information about how these credits count towards your degree. Make sure you request your official college transcripts from anywhere you've earned college credit to be sent to °ÅÀÖÊÓƵ. Your official college transcripts must be sent directly from the college to °ÅÀÖÊÓƵ Oregon's Admissions Office through the school's electronic document service, by email to admissions@pacificu.edu or by mail.

Advising and Registration Support Lab

Throughout the afternoon during Advising and Registration days there will be a drop in support lab from 10:30am - 3:30pm staffed with academic advisors, and other staff at Pacific. Before or after your individual advising appointment you can drop in the support lab to:

• Start planning your fall schedule or prep for your individual advising appointment
• Take your math or language placement tests if you haven’t yet done so
• Meet with financial aid advisors
• Learn more about next steps after registration (orientation, move in, etc)
• Ask any questions you may have

How to Prepare for Advising & Registration! 

1. Review online advising resources:
   • Academic Programs at Pacific | Start thinking about possible areas of study (majors, minors, and/or graduate school prerequisites).
   • | Look up program and degree requirements.
   • Advising Handbook | Review advising tips and guidelines for each program. Pay attention to prerequisites and sequencing guidelines for courses.
   • > Search for Classes | Review next year's class schedule and search for classes you may want to take.
2. Know your °ÅÀÖÊÓƵ Net ID (your username) and password so that you can log on to BoxerOnline and Moodle on your Advising & Registration Day.
3. Know your fall work or athletics schedule so you can schedule classes around those times if needed.
4. Prepare to let your advisor know about any prior college credits you have received or AP/IB exams you have passed. Request official copies of transcripts and score reports, and make sure you can access copies of college transcripts for dual enrollment credits.
5. Write down a list of questions to ask your advisor.

Tips for In-Person Advising & Registration

• Bring a laptop or tablet and charger. (Phone screens are too small for easily navigating BoxerOnline and registering for classes.)
• Review Pacific's campus maps ( or online/interactive) and your schedule for the day to know where you will need to be and at what time (give yourself a few extra minutes). 

Tips for Virtual Advising & Registration

• Make sure you have steady internet access for the entire day and a quiet, private space for your one-hour Advising Appointment (wear earbuds if needed, turn on your webcam if possible).
• Use a laptop or tablet for your advising appointment (phone screens are too small for easy screen sharing and navigating BoxerOnline).
• ahead of time.
• Be prepared to share your screen during your advising appointment. Mac users will need to enable screen sharing before you join the meeting under System Preferences > Privacy & Security > Screen & System Audio Recording, enabled for Zoom.
