Ø Register for a full set of classes, and then attempt to improve (if necessary) during add/drop. Ø You might be able to get signed into a closed section by a professor but don’t count on it.

Business, Math, and Science Majors: Ø If you have not already done so, take the Math Placement exam! Many of your required courses are math-placement dependent (you can’t take them without an appropriate score on the test). Ø The math placement exam may be taken in the Academic Support Center (2 nd floor of Saint Joseph Hall). Ø You can take it as often as once per week. And, there are tutoring services/online resources available to help you prepare!

Some Final Reminders Ø Full-time status = 12 -18 credits. Ø Your advisor’s name, office location, and contact information was sent to your Saint Rose email account. Ø Her/his name is also in the upper left-hand corner of Degree. Works. Ø If you do not know your advisor’s contact information or office location, please use the Faculty/Staff directory on the website.
