Advising & Registration sessions are designed to acquaint new students with the campus; familiarize themselves with admissions, registration, and financial aid policies and procedures; meet with academic advisors to plan their schedules, and spend time with Chillicothe Campus Faculty discussing how they can best prepare for the first day of classes.
