Step 1: Advising and Registration

Registering for classes is one of the most important tasks you’ll complete as you start your academic journey at Mount Aloysius College.

You will receive an email inviting you to work one-on-one with your academic advisor. It will give you instructions on how to set up your advising appointment. During this appointment, you will review any credits you may be transferring in and requirements for your major. You will then sign up for your spring 2023 classes. Your advisor will answer any questions you have during this appointment.

  • If you are having a virtual appointment, make sure you have a reliable Internet connection and camera. Also, it’s important to be able to meet virtually when you’re in a quiet location with no distractions.
