Academic advising for new students

All new students starting university in September 2023 from high school will be invited to Spring Orientation, Advising, and Registration better known as SOAR in May 2023. Watch your mail and email for updates.

Future students can review the 2022-2023 advising information to get an idea of the types of courses typically offered. This information is updated throughout the year as it becomes available.

Choosing your courses

These advising tools will help you choose your courses for the year.

From your myUNB Intranet, you are able to access student planning & registration, course registration, financial information and more. To activate your IT services account, use your student number and login ID that was included in your acceptance letter.

After planning and registering for courses

For a course review by an Academic Advisor, email your course selections to sjadvising@unb.ca for review. In the subject line of the email, put “2022 - 2023 course selections”. Use your UNB email account and be sure to include your name, student number, and any career or educational goals that you may have. A review will be done and feedback sent to you.
