4. DIRECT ENROLLMENT

WHY DIRECT ENROLLMENT?

Direct enrollment will maximize your success in college-level math and English classes. This will help you complete your college studies in less time, saving more money. Go to reynolds.edu/directenrollment and learn how to enroll in the math and English class/es best suited for you. Self-placement or enrollment criteria are based on things like how many years you’ve been out of high school, your GPA, and other transcript details.

HOW DO I ENROLL IN ENGLISH & MATH?

The graphic below describes the direct enrollment process. The questionnaire is not a test but rather a tool that your advisor will use to help you enroll in the correct course for your chosen major.

5. GET ADVISED

See an advisor before you register!

ACADEMIC ADVISING | reynolds.edu/advising

New Student Advising

First-time students, new to Reynolds, planning to enroll in courses will receive academic advising through a required new student orientation (SOAR). This orientation will prepare you for a successful start of the first semester. To schedule your orientation, please visit reynolds.edu/orientation.

First-Year Advising (0-15 credit hours)

Students with 0-15 credits will receive an email from FirstYearAdvising@Reynolds.edu early in their first semester. This email will provide you with the name of your academic advisor. It is important to schedule your appointment as soon as possible once you receive that email communication. This will ensure you get an appointment that works with your schedule and will prepare you to register for classes once registration opens.

Program Advising

Students with 16 or more credit hours should schedule an appointment at least once a semester with their assigned faculty advisor for program guidance and to prepare for registration. This advisor is listed in your MyREYNOLDS account.

Navigate is a tool available for students in MyREYNOLDS. Students can use it to help guide their academic and career path after applying to Reynolds. Research your own program of study and career exploration through an interactive questionnaire and real-time career data. It has useful functions including the ability to set up important reminders through text notifications. Students are able to set up advising appointments through the calendar scheduling feature.

CAREER & TRANSFER ADVISING | reynolds.edu/transfer | reynolds.edu/career |

careers@reynolds.edu

In addition to academic program advising, Reynolds provides career and transfer advising for students to provide assistance with career exploration and/or intend to transfer to a four-year college or university. Career & Transfer advisors are available to assist students with the development of specific academic plans that will easily transfer to the institution(s) of their choice.
