    You are all finally here! We are so excited to welcome you to campus!  


    We are writing to remind you that registration will re-open tomorrow morning, September 4th. If you need to make changes to your schedule at this time, please review the letter we sent last week, which we have also posted here on the First-Year Blog. If you are still looking for new or different classes this fall, we have featured a few courses with available seats on the Blog – please check it out!  


    If you have immediate questions during registration, faculty advisers will be available Friday morning from 10:00AM-12:30PM. You can find their names and locations in this blog post, and on your NSOP schedule.  


    Tomorrow, you will receive an email with the name of your pre-major adviser and information about scheduling your required meeting with them during the first two weeks of classes.  


    Finally, here is the last Cybersecurity Corner newsletter from our friends at BCIT, which you can read in this document!
