Welcome Highlanders!
Congratulations on becoming part of our Highlander family! As an incoming CNAS student, you will learn more about your major and will register for your fall classes during the virtual Advising & Registration Session that is part of your Highlander Orientation for Freshmen (HOF) Session.
