Program Advising Students with 16 or more credit hours should schedule an appointment at least once a semester with their assigned faculty advisor for program guidance and to prepare for registration. This advisor is listed in your MyREYNOLDS account. Navigate is a tool available for students in MyREYNOLDS.
