<p>Advisors do have all of the placement test information when you first register for classes, I’m not sure about departmental approval though. There are three advisor meetings during O-week, two of which are in large groups that go over the basics of course selection and help you narrow down a possible schedule of courses, then a third that is with you, your advisor, and a registration O-aide who will register you for your fall courses. </p>
<p>Oh, also I think you get back your placement test results in one of the first two meetings with your advisor, so if you need to talk to a department about placement you can do that after you have results back, but before your meeting for actua registration.</p>
