Freshman Advising Seminar
Freshman Advising Seminars
Freshman Advising Seminars are offered to first-time, entering freshmen to help them in the transition to college. These seminars are designed to pick up where orientation left off and give students valuable information covering a broad range of topics that are relevant to them as they prepare for their first semester at Nicholls.
The seminars are conducted by Certified Master Advisors and are offered in a small group setting and can be tailored to the needs of the students at each session. Students will not only get valuable information, but they will have a chance to meet with an advisor, make changes to their schedule, and complete a change of major form if necessary. These seminars offer students a chance to get meaningful information and ask important questions before they start classes.
Students can sign up for a seminar by calling the Academic Advising Center at 985-448-4117 or e-mailing advising@nicholls.edu. Daytime and evening sessions are available and some weekend sessions maybe offered. Call the Advising Center for more information.
