5. Advisor Assignments
 Students are assigned an advisor once they are declared.
 You must see your advisor each semester to discuss course selection,
information pertinent to your progression and to get your registration pin.
 If you are a Distance Education (DE) student, it is not necessary to come into the
Advising Center.
 Face-to-face students can make appointments by stopping by the TECS Advising
Center at 2 Rawl Annex or by calling 252-328-9301.
