Advising & Registration
Once you have completed the steps above, you will be sent an email invitation to access the SVC Take-Off session options. It is important to complete the earlier steps, as you will not be able to be advised if you haven't completed the online orientation and established placement. This is another opportunity for you to meet with your Veterans Education Office to verify your VA funding status, or ask any questions you may have.
Please note that your registration appointment is NOT your advising appointment. You must attend SVC Take-Off Group Advising before you may register for classes.
