Freshman Academic Advisor

<p>During orientation is there a limited amount of time that I will have to speak with my academic advisor? I have a lot of questions, so I hope that I will not be under any time constraints.</p>

<p>Also, do you know how many freshman advisors there are, because I am assuming there will be a few hundred freshman at each orientation.</p>

<p>You should get an e-mail from your advisor previous to registration so you can begin asking questions then. Also, the students that are attending orientation are broken up into groups based on their college. So in my case it was about a regular classroom full of people with two advisors, plus two individuals from the orientation team helping.</p>

<p>Are there computers in this room or do you stand around and wait for your turn to sign up for classes and/or speak to and advisor/team member?</p>

<p>First you meet with your advisors for a period of time to discuss classes, then you head to the computers at the end of the second orientation day.</p>

<p>Great question, knightforum. I have a lot of questions to ask my academic advisor too. I know this is kinda off topic, but during oreintation is it common to stay at the campus or commute?</p>

<p>BananaPop,
Our son lives local; he commuted.</p>

<p>Thanks for the response zebes :slight_smile: I might commute too, I’m still a little undecided.</p>

<p>Our son is staying with his brother in Towers 3. We’re staying with family in the Orlando area.</p>

<p>D is OOS so she is attending the last orientation session in June just prior to the start of Summer B. She will be able to move into her dorm room early.</p>

<p>My daughter stayed with me at the Homewood Suites on Alafaya. It was very clean and served a hot breakfast (free in the lobby). We also were able to move her into her dorm early because she went to the second to last orientation but she didn’t stay in the dorm alone during orientation. The orientation at UCF is very informative and worthwhile for both parents and students.</p>
