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.
