"Hello,

I was just wondering about the academic advisors that you mentioned in one of your last posts. How are advisors assigned? I am still undecided about what I want to major in and was wondering if I will get an advisor when I come in as a freshman or if I have to wait until I have a major? Thanks.

Aaron,

Advisors are assigned according to your major (they'll be someone from the department), but all of the undecided students have advisors, too. There are also several meetings and information sessions throughout the year for undecided students to help them learn more about what each major entails so that they can make a decision.
The advisors are important because not only do they help you figure out your class schedule, but they also give you the pin number you need to register. They can answer questions about double majoring, minoring, registering for classes, changing your major, etc...
If you have any more questions, please don't hesitate to ask!
