New FGCU Student Advising

Both first-year students and transfer students will meet with an academic advisor before registering for their first semester courses. Advising appointments are scheduled after you've completed several required pre-orientation steps.

Before You Schedule an Advising Appointment

To be eligible for advising outreach, new students must complete the following tasks:

1. Activate and begin to continually check your Eagle Email
2. Register to attend Eagle View Orientation
3. Submit your immunization records
4. Complete the pre-orientation virtual modules

What Happens Next

Once these steps are completed, academic advisors will begin reaching out via Eagle Email to invite students to schedule an advising appointment. Whenever possible, you should schedule your advising appointment before attending your in-person orientation experience. When scheduling, be sure to:

• Use the advising appointment link included in your email, and
• Select the appointment option that mentions Orientation or New Student Advising

We know you are excited to start your FGCU journey — and we're excited to support you. If you have completed the steps above and have not yet heard from advising, don't worry. Outreach occurs on a rolling basis using the timeline below:
