New Student Advising & Registration Guide
Welcome to Skidmore Class of 2028 & Transfer students!
All of us in the Office of Academic Advising, the Office of the Registrar, and the First-Year Experience are delighted to welcome you to Skidmore College. We're proud of the many accomplishments that have brought you to the start of your exciting academic journey with us.
This New Student Advising & Registration Guide (NSARG) will help you register for your first semester courses based on your academic requirements, interests, and goals. Use the Navigation Menu in the left sidebar to move about through the guide.
Here is a link to the informational webinar that took place Wednesday, May 29th in case you were unable to attend or would like to revisit the information. Students had an opportunity to learn more about the advising/registration process, our All-College requirements, and how to pursue a path in the health professions. Students raised many excellent questions along the way! We encourage the Class of 2028 to watch the recording so students can be as informed and prepared as possible when they have their advising meeting with their Summer Advisor.
