REMINDER:

You must visit with your advisor prior to pre-enrolling for the spring 2008 semester. FHSU prides itself on their ‘high tech, high touch’ philosophy, and this includes our academic advising as well. Please don’t expect for your courses to be approved in TigerEnroll until you have completed your advising appointment. Learn more about our advising standards.

HELPFUL ENROLLMENT ADVICE:

1. When choosing your courses, check out our Syllabus Website to get a better idea of how the course is structured. Every instructor approaches their class differently. Reading the syllabus ahead of time can help you grasp how the course will be taught.
2. All College of Business & Leadership students must take College Algebra, Calculus, & Statistics. We encourage you to take each of these courses back-to-back in order to keep your mind in ‘math mode.’ Don’t take a break between math classes; they will be more manageable for you if you keep math on the mind each semester.

USEFUL ACADEMIC SUCCESS ADVICE

• When will I receive my grades? Final grades from instructors are due in the Registrar’s Office on the first work day after the semester/term ends. View your grades at tigertracks.fhsu.edu.
• A student may attempt to improve a grade in an FHSU course only by repeating the course from FHSU. All grades remain on the student's transcript and the grade for the last enrollment in the course will be used in determining grade points. Learn more about improving your GPA with a course repeat.
