The Preview replaces the Online Academic Tour, serving as the mechanism for students to accept the transfer student enrollment fee and for UAccess to process matriculation, term activation and the enrollment appointment. Please refer to this experience as the Transfer Student Academic Preview, as the terminology Online Academic Tour will no longer appear on Next Steps.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>The Transfer Student Academic Preview is a more dynamic tool than the old tour, providing students with advising / orientation information that is specific to their college and major (as provided by the colleges). Honors College advising information will only be shown via the Preview to students who have been admitted to Honors. Additionally, students currently enrolled in the PCC STU 210 course are told by the Preview to follow the directions provided in class regarding their academic advising requirement for the upcoming semester and will not display the general transfer student information.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>A couple of things to note. In making the Transfer Student Academic Preview dynamic we had to tie it to UAccess to gather data. This means that I am unable to provide a link for you to take a look at the Preview. You would have to log in with a live Net ID and password to take a look, and if you did so you would cause the record to reflect that that individual has completed the Preview. We have tested and vetted the information so that it is as accurate as possible, but we will work to provide you with screen shots. I know that this is not ideal, but it was the trade off we had to make in order to make the Preview a smarter tool for students. Finally, once a student has completed the Transfer Student Academic Preview they will no longer be able to change their major online via Next Steps as they are processed for matriculation.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Please let me know if you have any questions.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>R<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><b><span style='font-size:12.0pt;color:#17365D'>Rachel A.
