1. How many rotations do you want to do?

How many total advisers are planning to see students during A&O?
How many people do you want in your registration lab rooms?

If they are meeting with you for Course Registration you must choose at least 1 rotation in either A, B, and/or C
3. Are you hosting FY INTL and FY US populations on the same day?
Yes → for "Option" you may select combo, but don't have to
No → for "Option" select Solo
4. Do you want to see your FY INTL and FY US students together in the same space?
Yes → for "Option" select combo. INTL first-years can only be in rotation A
No → for "Option" select Solo
5. Does the total number of students per rotation, number of rotations, and number of dates equal the total students you expect to admit?
6. Do you need support in your Zoom room for this session?
Yes → do you have students that you can hire and train that FYP can pay for? Or do you need FYP to hire students for your session (it is very unlikely the FYP student will be in your dept's major)

1. Do you have Direct Admits to your major?
Yes → for "Option" select one of the advising options. If you want more time with your students, add in a Registration Foundation session.
No → for "Option" select Beyond A&O check in. Plan to connect with students after A&O
2. What type of advising do you want to do?
How many total students for the quarter are you planning to admit? How many total advisers are planning to see students during A&O?
Do you want to meet with students as part of their A&O experience or would you rather students set up appointments with you "Beyond A&O" using your booking link? This meeting could be before or after their actual A&O date (they register with you and attend A&O on a different day to learn the mechanics of registration & the UW degree).
Determine your capacity to see students at A&O. If you are admitting a large number of students and only have 1 adviser, you may need to do group advising in order to see everyone.
3. Do you need support in your Zoom room for this session?Yes → for "Option" select one of the advising options. If you want more time with your students, add in a Registration Foundation session.
Yes → do you have students that you can hire and train that FYP can pay for? Or do you need FYP to hire students for your session (it is very unlikely the FYP student will be in your dept's major)

1. How many FR US and FR INTL students do you have in the final FDCP make up session?
Determine your adviser capacity to see the number of students in the session.
2. Due to the smaller number of students in the session, determine if you want to do a solo or combo session for FR US and FR INTL.
Note if this is a change from your previous sessions.
3. If you had support in your Zoom room for the other sessions, I'd plan to do the same structure for the make up session as well. *Note- that the sessions are smaller so will likely end early.
