Welcome to Planning for Course Registration at SMCM!
We hope you are excited to register for your first semester of courses! Each semester students will meet with their academic advisor, a faculty member who will help them to select their classes and register through our online registration system (Anthology Portal). We know this can be a confusing process, so during your first registration, this summer, we are providing some extra help in the form of this planning website, SOAR registration sessions staffed with registration experts, and a 1-on-1 meeting with a Summer Advisor who can help answer all of your questions!
The timeline below outlines when each of these things will happen during the summer.

After attending SOAR you will have a 1-on-1 Zoom meeting with a faculty Summer Advisor. These meetings will take place in mid to late July. Your Summer Advisor will help you complete your schedule for the fall semester by adding any remaining courses needed to fill out your schedule. They will help you review your course choices , fill out any necessary forms, and follow-up on any academic questions you may have. In mid August, you will be assigned your permanent Academic Advisor who may or may not be the person you worked with during the summer. You will meet with your permanent academic advisor once each semester while at SMCM!

You should review the planning materials on this website and work through the Course Selection Worksheet to prepare for SOAR.
During SOAR (June 16, 17, or 18th), you will register for three classes in the upcoming fall semester. Our registration experts will be on hand to help you through this process!
At the end of the SOAR registration you will fill out a form to tell us what fourth course you intend to take and a few back up plans. This helps us to ensure we can meet the requests of as many students as possible.
After SOAR you will sign up for a summer advising appointment with one of our faculty or staff members through emails from Admissions. You will be provided with a variety of day/time options and will select a time that works for you during the last two weeks in July.
At your 1-on-1 Zoom appointment with your Summer Advisor you will review the courses you already registered for, and add any courses you need to complete your schedule. Your Summer Advisor will provide guidance on these selections and answer any lingering academic questions you may have.
In mid August you will receive an email introducing you to your permanent Academic Advisor, who you will meet with the Friday before classes start. If you want to request changes to your schedule after your Summer Advisor Zoom meeting, you will need to wait until the schedule adjustment period that happens during the first two weeks of classes. Your permanent Academic Advisor can help with this!
