How to Use Cardinal Compass
Browse through questions commonly asked by freshmen and learn their answers; explore frosh-friendly courses from across campus and use that information in building a potential schedule; learn from the stories written by upperclassmen, faculty, and pre-major advisors; and get to know the members of your advising team who will be there to answer your questions throughout the year. Cardinal Compass is not merely a static tool, but the launching pad for the advising conversations you will have all year long.
