Welcome Class of 2025 to COMPASS! This online course will give you an introduction to the College curriculum, advising, university resources and opportunities.

You will move through COMPASS sequentially module by module. You can leave it and return where you left off. You can revisit the modules at any time after you complete them. You must complete all of COMPASS in order to register for fall courses this summer.

Throughout COMPASS you will be asked to

reflect on your academic plans and goals using this information.
provide feedback for your advisors.

Interacting with COMPASS will help you and your advisors prepare for your summer advising conversations.

You should complete COMPASS by mid-June.

In mid-June, you will receive another email with the contact information for your pre-major and peer advisors. Use this information to begin discussing your academic plans with your pre-major advisor over phone, Skype or in-person throughout Advance Registration (June 21–July 16.

After viewing the message from Paul Sniegowski, the Dean of the College of Arts & Sciences, you can begin Compass by clicking on Modules on the left hand menu and begin with the first module, First Steps. Then continue through COMPASS. We expect you will learn a lot.
