Advising and Registration

You will meet with your academic advisor and pre-register for fall classes at summer or fall orientation. Your First Year Seminar (FYS) instructor also serves as your academic advisor for the first year at Barton.

All students take FYS in the fall of the first year. Check out the FYS Course Descriptions to choose the course for you. In addition, you may take courses in subjects including English, math, computer information systems, science, social science and/or physical education during the first semester. You may also begin to take introductory courses to explore your intended major.

If you attend a summer Orientation Session, a final course schedule will be mailed to you in July. You have an opportunity to make schedule changes before classes begin.

Placement

Initial placement into English and math courses is based on SAT/ACT scores and high school course grades. Some students are advised to take placement tests in these subjects at Orientation to confirm correct English and math placement. Your FYS advisor will recommend placement test during the Group Advising session at Orientation.

The foreign language placement test is required for any student with two or more years of Spanish or French in high school. The computer-based placement test is given on the first day of Orientation.
